Coleen spent many years working in the medical field, where her compassion and care touched countless lives. She was a very loving person, always putting others before herself and finding joy in helping those around her.
Coleen had a gentle spirit and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life. She loved tending to her plants, visiting the Hiawatha Farmers Market, caring for stray animals, and finding peace in nature. Her kindness, warmth, and nurturing heart will be remembered by all who knew her.
The family will be having a private graveside service at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Cedar Rapids.
