Colleen was a dear friend and so thoughtful. She was always at our door with "treats" for our sons. She included us for special occasions when her home was full with her large, loving family. She was organized, independent, innovative, and she had a brilliant mind. We will miss her happy demeanor. Rest in peace, Colleen.

She was intelligent, kind, generous and so much more. And what couldn't she do? - from being a valued employee, a cookie baker, a hostess, a teacher. Colleen was a dear friend. She and Dick raised 3 amazing kids. The world was a better place with her in it.

Colleen will be missed....such a wonderfully intelligent woman. But I think it's her laugh that will be missed the most....that & her ability to truly enjoy life. A friend that was true blue & willing to be supportive. Mother that never tired of regaling those around her of her kids' accomplishments. And then her grandchildren....perfect & clever. Her memory issues must have been so hard when she was still aware of the problem. But she left so many fun, positive memories with us. Prayers to the family that is grieving....
