Honoring Susie Coffman and the Winter Springs Senior Center

It was an incredible honor to attend the recent dedication ceremony officially renaming our city’s senior center as The Susie Coffman Winter Springs Senior Center. I was proud to be there to personally thank Susie for her nearly 30 years of dedicated service to our city and especially to our senior community.

Since beginning her work with Winter Springs in 1989, Susie Coffman has been a tireless advocate for seniors. Her leadership played a key role in expanding the senior center and securing the funding to construct the center’s Therapy Pool, which opened in 2008 and continues to serve residents today with low-impact aquatic therapy.

Now, her name stands proudly on the building she helped build—an enduring symbol of vision, compassion, and commitment.

The best part? Her legacy lives on every day inside The Susie Coffman Winter Springs Senior Center.

Located at 400 N. Edgemon Ave., this community space offers a welcoming and safe place for residents ages 55 and up to stay active, socialize, and participate in daily programs like art, exercise, games, and more. If you’re curious about becoming a member, I encourage you to stop by and check it out—I especially recommend joining them for Bingo, a true community favorite!

The center is also home to the Therapy Pool, which provides accessible aquatic therapy classes that support strength, mobility, and overall wellness.
