Colleen was a loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. Despite her many health issues, she remained focused on the things that brought her joy. Colleen will be remembered by her daughters for the joy her grandchildren brought her, her beautiful singing voice, her fun-loving sense of humour, her zest for gardening, her obsession with shopping and decorating, touring homes, and her endless hunt for garage sales. She touched many lives through her passion for volunteering, her dedication to her career as a real estate agent, and her love of people. Forever in our hearts - you are our sunshine.
