Colleen's greatest joy was her family. She had a deep love for art, spending hours drawing and painting, and she poured that same creativity into sewing for her children and grandchildren. She always made sure everyone was fed. She was famous for her incredible Halloween costumes, always bringing magic and fun to the holiday. Her homemade pizza was legendary, and her potato rolls were nothing short of perfection. She also loved family reunions, camping, cherishing time spent outdoors with family, making memories around the campfire.
