COLLEEN P. BARRY of Cleveland, Ohio, age 86, passed away on August 18, 2015 of natural causes. A loving mother and grandmother, she is survived by her children Carol (Jeff) Beardmore, Joseph Valaitis, Jr., and Mark (Maryellen) Valaitis and her grandchildren Mark Beardmore, Gerry Valaitis, Deborah Valaitis, Adam Valaitis and Katherine Valaitis and long-time dear friend Pattie McGonagel. Colleen led a full and vibrant life and enjoyed crocheting, cards and anything Irish. Her sense of humor remained sharp and some of her favorite sayings that brought smiles to our faces include: My mother always said it's hell to get old, Right church wrong pew, It's not me that's wrong- it's the rest of the world, Whatever, Oh Saint Aunt Agnes, I win (accompanied by a grin).
