Colleen Wincentsen Obituary
Colleen S. Wincentsen
MADISON - Colleen S. Wincentsen, age 90, passed away on October 24, 2023.
We are celebrating the life of this special person, who was so strong and always giving. Her life as a nurse in hospital and later with the Bloodmobile gave her purpose and when she retired the need to volunteer was strong. Colleen helped with Second Harvest and was active in her church Bethel Lutheran of Madison. She was our "Aunt Sis," a nickname by her siblings as being the youngest of four. Colleen sent cards on our birthdays, attended all our family functions and was our videographer as well as photographer. She will be missed by many.
Memorial services will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, November 18, 2023, at Bethel Lutheran Church, 312 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison. Friends and relatives are invited to a luncheon, immediately following, in the church fellowship hall. Friends may greet the family from 10:00 AM until the time of services at church. Memorials may be made to the charity of the donors choice.
