Born and raised in Newton, Colleen later settled in Wayland to raise her family. She devoted 14 years to nurturing Kindergarteners as a Teaching Assistant in the Wayland Public Schools before becoming an Orton-Gillingham tutor for struggling readers. She was a woman of deep faith, a runner, a generous friend, and an avid Boston sports fan. Above all, she was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, aunt, and sister. She lived as an example of grace, compassion, and faith. Everyone who met her was better for it.
