Colleen spent over 30 years working in food and beverage service at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, She was “Mom” and “Dad” to her 5 children, which she raised in Jacksonville Beach. She was always on the go, living life to the fullest. She was a very talented painter. Her favorite trips included her annual trips to upstate New York to see family and she never missed visiting the waterfalls. Her family will miss the postcards that trickled in the mail after her many travels. She loved trying new restaurants, floating down the Ichetucknee, going to John’s farm to see the cows and spending quality time with Marissa and all of her loved ones. Every Tuesday you could find her and Becky at Beach Bowl, where she was a top bowler. (She bowled a 146 last week!)
