Dear Celestina ! ! We both are very sad to hear of Colleen's passing ! What a wonderful long and yes colourful life she has had ! We have many happy memories of times spent with Colleen over the years in Kilbirnie and especially being taught Elocution by her when we were young ! Colleen was first cousin of our dear Mother Eileen Monahan (Colleen's lovely Mother Alice was a sister to Eileen's Mother Honora Colleens life was so enriched when she met and married Peter and you and your siblings brought her so much joy and love !

Condolences to the Sunny family. I knew Colleen many years ago when she used to bring her two nephews to St Patrick's School where I was their teacher. The staff all used to call her Auntie Colleen. She had a beautiful speaking voice. Rest In Peace Colleen.
