Kathleen Fox Collins

Kathleen was a true force for the good in every way: an angel to the arts especially. Please note that the photos posted at January 18 and January 23 show Kathleen with her late dear friend Betty Ross, who died on Dec. 7, 2021: I was with Kathleen at Betty's the day before Betty's passing when we bid adieu to our dear, dear friend, Betty.

To my friend of 43 years and one of the first two people I met in Colorado Springs. As a member of the "behind the scenes crew" the the Office Manager of the Symphony, I worked closely with Kathleen for 10 years on the printed programs, ticket sales, fund-raising materials, etc.. After leaving the Symphony, the "Symphony Girls" met monthly for lunch for the next 30 years. At the beginning, we talked about family life, our kids, work, etc. In later years, we talked about each other's health....

"There is no cause for grief when a blossom fades - but cause only for rejoicing for the beauty it held..." (Rumi) The seeds Kathleen planted and nourished will continue to bloom; our world is now a better place with all she empowered to grow. Peace be with you, special family...and friends, we've got songs to sing!
