Colleen Wright Obituary
Colleen was born on March 20, 1964. She was a graduate of Hempfield Area High School in Greensburg, PA and the University of Pittsburgh - Greensburg. She worked for many years as the manager of various housing units in Western Pennsylvania and later as a banking representative in Phoenix.
Colleen had a deep love for her family and friends. She was defined by her kind and gentle spirit. She is well remembered as giving the best, deepest, most caring hugs in the world. Colleen loved animals and was especially fond of her cats. She is survived by her brothers Rob, Pat and Tim, her sisters-in-law, Michelle, Elaine, and Stacey, her partner, Forrest Buffenmyer and ex-husband Robert Wright. She was the beloved Aunt C to seven nieces: Lauren, Erin, Allison, Janelle, Amber, Kendra, Shaina, and a nephew, Troy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bob & Ellen Sheehan.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, gifts can be made in Colleen's honor to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
A Memorial Service will be held for Colleen at First Presbyterian Church in Greensburg, PA at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, July 26.

My deepest sympathy to the Sheehan brothers. I have sooo many fond memories of Colleen. She and I playing jacks, playing with the dollhouse, singing totally off key to records in her bedroom and ruining a few of our Barbies and so many more. Heaven sure got one beautiful angel. I feel privileged to have known her and I sure will never forget her.
