According to an obituary published in the San Mateo Daily Journal last month, Coleman was the principal of Washington Elementary School in Burlingame, California, and lost her battle with cancer back in June. She was reportedly surrounded by family and reportedly died peacefully.

Coleman’s parents spoke about her kindness persisting even though she was going through a tough battle with cancer.

“During her illness, Cristin never expressed fear, anger, or self-pity, but she was deeply sad to be leaving all of us so soon and for causing us to grieve. And she was profoundly grateful for all your love and support – ‘Washington people have such big hearts.’ It was never about her,” the Colemans wrote. “It was about Love – Love for her family, her friends, her hundreds of students and their families, and her many professional colleagues. Cristin told me she wasn’t afraid because she was leaving all her love to us, the lucky ones whose lives and hearts she touched.”

Lincecum is extremely private about his personal life, he had not been publicly reported to be married until the Giants’ announcement Thursday. Lincecum’s relationship with Coleman dates back to 2012, when they celebrated his second World Series championship together.
