Colleen was traveling with Lynne Hartunian. The two had traveled several weeks through Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland after their classes in London had ended. Born January 4, 1968, Colleen was the youngest of eight children. She was survived by her mother, Pat; brothers Donald, Michael, William, and Robert; and sisters Cheryl, Karen, and Patti.
