Colleen Reed, beloved by many for her spunky spirit and quick wit, passed away on March 19, 2025, at the age of 81. Colleen was born on June 10, 1943 in Delton.
Colleen worked as a project manager for McCormick Enterprises in Delton for over 20 years. She found peace and happiness on the water boating, and treasured the moments spent sitting on her deck. Colleen was a longtime active member of the Delton Moose Lodge.
Colleen's sense of humor and love for life were as memorable as her love for her cat, Shadow, who was a constant source of comfort and companionship. Colleen's lively character and kind heart will be dearly missed, as she leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and an unforgettable presence.
Colleen is survived by her daughter, Rhonda (Terry) Wier, siblings, Karen (Robert) Gifford and Bob McCormick, several grand and great grandchildren. Colleen was preceded in death by her parents, loving husband, Randy Reed, children, Jeff Mol and Cheryl Mol, and sister Diane Sample.
She will be missed by many caring friends and neighbors, especially Rick and Stephanie Hendricks.
A memorial service will be conducted at a later date. Please visit www.williamsgoresfuneral.com to share a memory or to leave a condolence message for Colleen's family.
