Colleen is reunited in eternal life with her daughter. Jodi Anne Wells and son, Bobby Wells, her 3 brothers, Jack, Neil & Kay(Shirley) Deraway, and her sister Pat Sligh. Her spirit is carried on by her children, John Wells, Becky(Dee) Pack, & Dan(Diane) Wells, her sister, Janet Deraway, sister-in-laws Abbie Deraway & Rose Cramer, Penny Hunter (whom she loved like a sister), 10 grandkids, Michael, Aaron, Jessica, Brandon, Chad, Maghen, Jack, Charles, Daniel, & Jacob, 11 great grand kids,1 great-great grandchild, many nieces & nephews and an extended family of relations and friends from every walk of life.
Colleen spent over 30 years working in food and beverage service at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, She was Mom and Dad to her 5 children, which she raised in Jacksonville Beach. She was always on the go, living life to the fullest. She was a very talented painter. Her favorite trips included her annual trips to upstate New York to see family and she never missed visiting the waterfalls. Her family will miss the postcards that trickled in the mail after her many travels. She loved trying new restaurants, floating down the Ichetucknee, going to John's farm to see the cows and spending quality time with Marissa and all of her loved ones. Every Tuesday you could find her and Becky at Beach Bowl, where she was a top bowler. (She bowled a 146 last week!)
Arrangements are under the care of Hardage-Giddens Beaches Chapel. The family will receive friends Monday September 21, 2015 from 11-1pm with a Funeral Service starting at 1pm in the funeral home located 1701 Beach Boulevard, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250. Burial will follow immediately after at H. Warren Smith Cemetery in Jacksonville Beach.
