Colleen was most often called “Gran” by the family and even friends of the family. She was so loved by everyone for her kind heart and her generosity. She was the best cook and welcomed anyone into her home. We’re sure going to miss those Birthday cakes and Christmas cookies. 

Love you forever “Gran”
