TAHOUNEY, Mary "Colleen" July 4, 1928 - April 23, 2021 It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Colleen (Connor) Tahouney. She leaves her husband, George; sons Leonard (Deb), Dan (Linda), Rick (Debbie), daughter Tanya; grandchildren Kiana, Aja, Karen, Kevin, Danielle, Serena and Ashley and 9 great-grandchildren. Born in Victoria, Colleen grew up in Esquimalt where she attended Lampson Street School and graduated from Esquimalt High School. In the early 1960's Colleen married the love of her life, George Tahouney, and they settled down to raise a family in the James Bay community. Over the years Colleen became not only Mum and Grandma to her own family but also "Mrs. T", "Mum T" and "Mum Tahouney" to the many neighbourhood and daycare kids in her life. When they moved to Esquimalt in the mid-1980's, Colleen continued to welcome daycare kids for many years. Colleen enjoyed travels with George to Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Bermuda, England and especially, return visits to Hawaii. Colleen had deep pride in her Irish roots. Meeting her cousins and their families in England in 1997 for the first time was a great highlight in her life. Colleen's greatest love was her family and she never wavered in her commitment to creating a home that was her pride and joy. Soft-spoken, well-mannered and always well-dressed, Colleen was a true "Lady". We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at The Priory hospital in Langford who cared so gently for Colleen these past four years. A remembrance tea to honour Colleen will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Colleen's memory to the Victoria Stroke Recovery Ass'n, Box 31042, #301 - 3980 Shelbourne St, Victoria, BC V8N 6J3.
