Colleen spent most of her life in Lethbridge where she worked mainly in the retail industry at such places as Eaton's toy department, Sweet 16, Beau Jangles and the Gold Brick Jewellers. She had many friends and loved to stay connected with them through her famous lengthy phone conversations. She loved the colour pink, lots of jewellery, new shoes, and keeping up with the latest fashion. Colleen was a joyous person who loved life and was most happy when around family and friends. She especially took great joy in her grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will miss her wonderful smile, her laughter, and her unconditional love. We will think of her and smile when we see the colour pink.
