Those left to cherish her memory are her partner, Kyle Spellacy; children, Tazlin Warner, and Barbara Rachel Spangler-Gamble; mother, Barbara Pasco-Jones; grandchildren, Zachary Cribbs, Aiden Helm, Zander Warner, Elaine Spangler, and Devon Carpenter; brothers, Randy Pasco and Raymond Pasco; nieces, Jonna Germain, Randi Jo Phillips, and Terra Phillips, as well as many more nieces and nephews; long-time friend, Valerie Converse; and her beloved dog, Daisy.

Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.

Colleen will be laid to rest at Moss Street Cemetery in Hudson Falls, alongside her sister and grandmother.
