Colleen Kelley passed away on November 12. Colleen retired after twenty-six years as a psychology professor at Florida State University. Prior to that, Colleen taught at Macalester College, Williams College and her undergraduate alma mater, Reed College. She earned her Ph.D. from Stanford University where she studied human memory. As a professor she was admired by her students and placed many of her graduate students in academic positions throughout the United States.
Colleen originally hailed from northwestern Washington State, where the mountains meet the sea. She enjoyed hiking forest trails and walking on the beach. She leaves behind her beloved son Matthew Seidenfeld and his wife Lacey Lindquist, and her husband of twenty-nine years – her closest companion and adorer for forty-six years – Mark Seidenfeld. She is also survived by her dearly devoted elder sister, Linda Ebberson, and her loving younger brothers Tony and Dan Kelley.
All will miss Colleen’s wit, charm, and beautiful smile.
