Colleen was a communicant of the former Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Medina and later of St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church in Middleport.

There are no calling hours. A private committal service will be held at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Medina at the family's convenience. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at a later date to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Colleen's name to a charity of one's choice that benefits veterans.
