Colleen Monahan Obituary
Never one to back down from a passionate debate, Colleen embraced life with fierce independence and unwavering convictions. Her appreciation for music, especially the sounds of the 1980s, brought her joy and served as the soundtrack to her bold and vibrant personality.
In accordance with her wishes, services will be private. Those who knew her are encouraged to honor her memory in their own way.
