In 1981, Colleen and Alva moved to Athol, Idaho where they lived for many years in a cabin they had built. To be closer to family, they moved to Roy, Utah in 1994. Mom delighted in the many grand, great-grand, and great-great grand children that came over the years. In 1995 Alva passed away in Roy, Utah.

Although Mom was fighting cancer, she didn''t let that slow her down. She loved getting around, staying busy, and always being on the go. Before terminal diagnoses, Colleen kept herself busy with weekly visits to the Temple, the Golden Hour, West Point and Hooper Senior center. She even had time to go to the Roy Complex for her water aerobics. Colleen cherished the opportunity to help her friends. She knew they relied on her to take them wherever they needed to go. She delighted in serving others. Mom especially loved playing pinochle with family and friends. Mom was very passionate about crocheting. She could whip up a beautiful doily in only a few days.
