I can hardly put into words how fabulous she was!! I was one of her lucky students, she was my beloved 5 th grade Teacher at DesMoines elementary , she was a will always be my favorite teacher! She opened up my heart with her magical way of teaching haiku poetry. I was so fortunate to have spent some time with her in 2019, she was like fine wine she got even better with age!
Colleen was my 4th and 5th-grade teacher. We kept in touch for over 51 years. I will miss her terribly, and wish her family the very best.
She could tell a joke better than anyone else. She was a pleasure to be in her company.
