where she lived for forty years please post the information on their
equivalent email list to this, if they have one? There are a lot of
people still around there who loved her and would probably want to be told.

I think I only met Colleen once, when I was still a relatively timid
filker who just happened to be near their house and was invited to drop
in for an evening... but from that one visit, I'm not at all surprised
that she was known as "Mama Colleen".
Sympathy to all those who knew her. I'm sorry I won't get a chance to
meet her again.

I'm very sorry to hear this. My sympathy to her family and I hope
everyone is holding up ok. I only met her a few times, but I remember
her warmly.
