Colleen graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School. She was a secretary at Kodak until she retired and worked at Walmart and as a bus monitor later on.
She was an avid gardener and loved being outside as much as possible. People would actually stop and admire her lawn and flowers. She also loved playing golf and was very proficient at it and had an excellent drive. She was kind and had a smile and was welcoming with everyone she met. Mostly, she showed unconditional love everyday to her two boys. She will be greatly missed.
