Colleen Elizabeth (Davis) Eckhardt was born August 8, 1945. She was adopted by William and Francis Davis, and often spoke fondly of her childhood. She was a proud member of the Sam Houston High School band, where she served as a drum major. She married her high school sweetheart, Carl Douglas “Doug” Eckhardt, with whom she shared 55 loving years. Her biological family found her in the 2000s, and she delighted in knowing her 4 younger siblings and newfound nieces and nephews. Colleen enjoyed sewing, cooking and baking for her family, crafting, and cruising with Doug and her sister Sue. Butterfly-shaped birthday cakes were her specialty, and a big hit with her granddaughters. Her most cherished times were those spent with her family, especially if it involved cheering on her grandchildren.
Colleen joined Doug and her parents in heaven on April 28, 2024. She is survived by her sons, Carl William, and Troy (Sharlene); grandchildren Ashley (Nicholas), Shelby, Remington, Lauren (Braeden), and Olivia; and great-grandchildren Henry & Finn Parker, and Cooper & Dawson Behrens.
