So sorry to hear of. Colleen's passing. She was always so friendly and helpful when I floated to Pineville Endo.

We are so sorry to hear of Colleen’s passing. Please accept our family’s deepest sympathy. 
Sincerely,
The Fowler Family (St. Ann’s,  CCHS)

My sympathies to you all. I remember my days when I worked @ CMC/Atrium  and she was a nursing supervisor . She was such a delight to work with and  my shift as being in charge went smoother knowing  she was  present. Her smile was so electrifying and such a kind soul to all. May she be your forever guardian angel. With sympathy , Jane Robinson

We are so sorry to hear about the death of Colleen.  May God bless her and watch over the family.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Dave, Tina and Mia Hart.

Quinn, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.  We at East Coast of Tabor City are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. May you find peace with all the great memories of your mother.  Jordan, Tammy, Hayden and Mackenzie.

I will always remember Colleen "Cols" as having one of the warmest smiles I've ever encountered. She had such a welcoming, warm presence to her. You could have just met her, and somehow she immediately felt like a friend. She was a truly wonderful friend to all, but especially my mom. I'm so grateful my mom was able to have such a great friend in her. They had so much fun together, but could also trust each other with their lives, secrets, dreams, etc. I know she will miss her deeply. I can remember that Cols was always laughing, and making jokes. She was so funny. Truly, she was always making the best of life. 

The world will be a dimmer place without her light.  What a beautiful soul that is gone too soon. My prayers and thoughts are with Kelsey, Quinn,  Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin and the entire family. She will be deeply missed by many. They have a guardian angel looking over them now and guiding their path forward.

Dear Larry, Gail, & family, 
I cannot begin to express how deeply grieved I was to open your email & learn of Colleen’s passing.  You are greatly blessed to have such a close family that can draw together in a time of loss like this. Your external family is behind you as well, eager to help and comfort you - praying for strength and peace in the days ahead. 

Grace & peace
Bill & Linda

Dear Pat and family,

I was so very sorry to hear of your loss.  Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our memory of Colleen from CCHS and UNC is that she was a bright light in this world with a beautiful smile. We are holding the Gove/McLaughlin family, especially Quinn, in our hearts during this sad time.

Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with Colleen on the phone regarding a health issue that I experienced.  I had a million questions and Colleen patiently and professionally answered them for me.  I appreciated her taking time out of her weekend to talk with me because she didn’t even know me.  I was a friend of her uncle and aunt.  I will always remember her kindness.   I pray for her eternal peace and for the peace of her family in the future.   God bless you all.

I keep praying, that this isnt true! She is such a wonderful human.  I am so blessed to have known her! She would’ve given the shirt off her back for anyone. And I unfortunately don’t know a bunch of people that are like that! I will miss her, coming to get her hair done, and we solve the world problems! Pardon my French, but it sucks! I will miss her terribly! 🥲

Dear Larry, Gail & family;  
           I am shocked & deeply saddened to learn of Colleen's passing!
I can't imagine the grief with the loss of a beloved child!  She was
a beautiful, accomplished  young woman ,obviously highly regarded and loved by family, friends & co-workers.
          She will be sorely missed but her memory will live on with those who loved her & shared her life's journey. 
           Please know you will all be in my thoughts & I pray that your faith & the love & support of family & friends will sustain you through this difficult time.
                                                          With deepest sympathy
                                                            Lucy Jones

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Coleen was more than a co-worker — she was a friend, a leader, and a steady source of strength for everyone around her. She had a way of bringing calm to chaos and always stood up for those who needed her most.

Her 30+ years as a dedicated nurse left a lasting impact, not only on her patients but on all of us who had the honor of working with her. Coleen held us to a higher standard, inspired us to do better, and cared deeply for everyone she met.

She will be profoundly missed, but her kindness, strength, and love will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with you all during this incredibly difficult time.

Kelsey, Quinn, Larry, Gail and family.

 Our sincerest condolences on Colleen's untimely passing.
 Our memories of her are that big beautiful smile she always had.

" DEATH TAKES THE BODY.
   GOD TAKES THE SOUL
   OUR MIND HOLDS THE MEMORIES.
   OUR HEART KEEPS THE LOVE.
   OUR FAITH LETS US KNOW WE WILL MEET AGAIN"
Love,
Lois & Tim

I’m so saddened of Colleen’s passing. I had the good fortune of working with her for several years as a nurse starting out. Her compassion, professionalism and fairness were things I looked up to and admired very much… things I’ve always tried to carry with me and share with others as she did so well. She had a huge impact on my life in returning to faith and I’m grateful I was able to thank her for that. Colleen will always have a special place in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers to her family and loved ones.

Colleen had an infectious smile, kind heart, and beautiful spirit that touched everyone around her. She was an amazing mother who loved her girls with her full heart. We shared countless laughs, unforgettable moments, and memories that I will cherish forever. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out, and the world is a little dimmer without her. I am thankful for the joy, warmth, and friendship she brought into my life. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace, dear friend.

I used to work with Colleen years ago, and call her a friend.  Her quick wit and big warm smile made her fun to be around.  She would get laughing and it was so contagious.  It's heartbreaking to hear of her passing.  My deepest sympathies to her family.  She will surely be missed.

My heart is saddened to hear of the passing of Colleen. Colleen was always a pleasure to work with and be around - willing to share her smile to comfort and uplift others. My condolences to her family. We will all miss this wonderful person

I am so sorry and sad to hear about the loss of Colleen. She was beautiful soul inside and out. We will miss you sweet Colleen. Sending my prayers and love to her family and all her work family.
