She graduated high school and shortly thereafter began an impressive career—nearly 40 years—with the telephone company, which became Verizon.

The two had three children, Mark Campbell (Beth Campbell), Oren Campbell, and Angela Thens (Eric Thens); four grandchildren, Chris Campbell (Sarahi Campbell), Scot Campbell, Brian Thens, and Jessica Thens; and one great-grandchild, Abigail Campbell.
She was driven in her career and parenthood, instilling in her children the roadmap for success. In her spare time, Colleen loved to entertain, dance, and bake rum cakes. She was a longstanding member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles #871 Ladies Auxiliary. Most notably, Colleen was known to spread joy and positivity to everyone with whom she came in contact. Her love and inspiration adorned her countless admirers who fondly called her Momma C.
