Colleen Tederous Obituary

Visit the Chapman Funerals & Cremations - Falmouth website to view the full obituary.
Colleen Mary Tederous of Falmouth, passed away on February 28, 2026, at the age of 76. She was born in Buffalo, New York to Martin and Jeanne Reidy.

Colleen loved walking around town, rain, or shine. Her determination motivated others, and her warmth made everyone feel welcome. Even when her health took away her ability to walk, her spirit never faded. Walking with her son around Tea Ticket path kept her moving, in shape and happy. She was also very passionate about gardening. She treasured her plants, and you knew if you touched them, you were in trouble! Her garden was beautiful and admired not only by family and friends but even strangers who walked past. Her pursuit of knowledge never waivered; she enjoyed reading any chance she got. She was also a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills and the New York Yankees, thanks to her dad. Colleen also had a special place in her heart for her furry kitty companions, never far from her side.

Colleen is survived by her son Martin of Falmouth, her partner of 35 years David "Davo" Brock, her brothers Gary Reidy and his wife Judy of Princeton, NJ, Martin Reidy of Laurence Harbor, NJ, her sister Kathleen Reidy of Orchard Park, NY, her sister-in-law Denise Reidy of Orchard Park, NY and her beloved nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her first husband Karl, her brother Sean Reidy of Princeton, NJ, Raymond Reidy of Orchard Park, NY and her sister Charlene Reidy of West Yarmouth, MA.

Visitation will be held Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 1pm to 3pm at Chapman Funerals and Cremations, 475 Main Street, Falmouth, MA. Prayers will be held at 3pm.
