She graduated at Sacred Heart Catholic Schools in Norfolk, earned a scholarship to St. Joseph's School of Nursing in Omaha, quickly becoming the head of the surgical ward. Met Bill, a Creighton University medical student, and they married June 5, 1958,and celebrated 67 years together.
They settled in Fullerton, CA in 1966, raising five daughters-Katie, Maggie, Mary, Laura, and Stacia.
Her favorite sports team was the L.A. Dodgers, and in particularly Clayton Kershaw.
She served as president of the Assistance League of Fullerton and helped rewrite by-laws at the national level. And she was also active with the Music Associates at Cal State Fullerton.
Later, she returned to school to complete her master's degree at Chapman College.
Her grandchildren-Elizabeth, Christopher, Stephen, Emily, Brian, and Matthew-were her pride and joy. Spoiling them was her specialty.
Colleen is survived by her husband and daughters, her sister Patricia "Pat" of Lincoln, Nebraska; and six grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Harley, and sister Margaret "Peg."

Colleen was such a phenomenal force for 90+ years. She raised an amazing group of women and did so much for her family and community, and always with gusto. It was an honor to know her and be included as `family.´ I´m sad there is one less mom in my life, but I´m so grateful she is at rest. Sending so much love. Nika
