At the age of 90, Colleen passed away peacefully at Palm Lake Care Toowoomba, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories.

Colleen was the loving wife of Andy (dec), and together they shared a bond that transcended time. Her role as a mother and mother-in-law was central to her identity, and she poured her heart and soul into nurturing her children: David & Janelle, Glen, Robyn & Wayne, Stephen & Alena, Mark, Brett & Janelle, and Andrea & Ronnie. Despite the challenges life presented, Colleen’s unwavering love and dedication to her family never faltered.

Her home was always filled with laughter and joy as she delighted in the company of her beloved descendants. Colleen’s presence brought comfort and warmth to all who knew her, and her legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of generations to come. As we gather to celebrate Colleen’s life, we do so with gratitude for the countless blessings she bestowed upon us. Her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, and boundless love enriched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
