Words from Camille's friends and loved ones:
Camille worked with all students. I have witnessed her showing deep caring for students that can be described as a tender hug. That qualifies as a master teacher within
itself.
Camille was known to me as a dedicated, professional educator with a deep love for all of the students with whom she was associated with at Pasadena High School.
Camille was a steadfast friend, always ready to listen to a problem or lend her support. She will be deeply missed by all of her co-workers and students.
As my friend and confidante, she cannot be replaced and I am the poorer for her departure. May she now find the peace that she so long sought for others.

Camille was preceded in death by her mother Emry Little Coleman and her younger sister Jennifer Cumba.
She is survived by her husband of 11 years, William "Bill" Whitecotton of Houston, TX. Father, William "Bill" Coleman of Drew, MS. Three daughters: Jennifer Hart Sachs of Houston,
