Colleen had a wonderful sense of humor. She was always joking and trying to make others laugh. She never met a stranger and after you met her she would leave you with a smile. She was a humble person, always thinking of others before herself. She was very generous and was always donating to others in some way.

She worked for the Whiteriver School District as a Parent Liaison for over 26 years before her retirement on June 1, 2017. She truly enjoyed working with children. Colleen loved to watch Pioneer Woman, Dangerous Women, 48 Hours and anything on Lifetime. She loved her children and grandchildren and they will miss her deeply.
