Colleen was a great role model as a wife and mother who showed kindness to all but wasn’t a pushover!  She was a master cleaner and no one could compare to her linen folding skills!  She enjoyed gardening, bird watching and shooting at squirrels who tried to get her birdseed!  Her biggest passion was kids!  She relished the time she spent snuggling and reading to her grandkids and great grandkids.  Her golf game was unmatched with two holes in one with Phil as her witness!  She was a fireball and in the words of one of the aides, “She was as light as a feather but strong as an ox!”
