MORAN, Colleen Joyce
It is with profound sadness that we share with you the passing of our dear wife, mother, sister, nana, cousin and friend to many. Colleen passed January 20th, 2026 at Royal Jubilee Hospital following a brief illness, surrounded by her loving family.
Colleen was the heart of our clan, which was everything to her, especially her two much loved granddaughters Makena and Abigail.
Colleen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on July 29th, 1950. She was proud of her 'prairies' birthplace as well as her Irish heritage through her mother Pamela and father Herbert.
Colleen moved with her family to Victoria 1968 where she attended Claremont high school. It was there that she met her future husband, Dave. They were married in 1971.
Colleen worked in CIBC banking, Royal Trust company and retired from the Min. of Health. In retirement she enjoyed travelling with her husband Dave, family and friends.
Colleen had a special love for animals, having dedicated a lot of her time to saving lives through rescuing, fostering and raising much needed funds by hosting garage sales and supporting many local rescue organizations.
Colleen is and always will be, deeply missed by her husband Dave, son Brad (Steph), daughter Jennifer (Adam), granddaughters Makena and Abigail, siblings June (Glynne), Shelley, Keith (Shirley), Wendy (Jim), plus nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
For all who knew and loved Colleen there will be a Celebration of Life on March 13th, 2026 (2:00-4:00pm) in the Sequoia Center at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria.
