Colleen was a lovely human and always had a wicked sense of humor. She made working in the same Real Estate brokerage with her a delightful place 

Although I'm just seeing this obit, my condolences for the folks she left behind to remember her and loving the spirit she left behind.

We are sad to hear about the passing of such a great lady. You both were so patient in helping us find our home so near Saint Albert the Great Catholic Church. 
Colleen will be dearly missed.  
Love, 
Don and Lynette Offield

Here is to my Aunt Colleen who had a flare for life and always enjoyed a good laugh. I remember coming to Omaha when we were kids and she would line us up in the kitchen and measure our height on the wall then tell us to go jump on argoff and get his ass out of bed. Where did that name come from anyway? She was a fun Aunt with a unique sense of humor which is evident in all my cousins.  So many good memories. We will truly miss you Colleen. She is probably squeezing my brother Joe’s cheeks right now saying where the heck do we get a drink in this place. 

Our heart filled condolences to uncle Jim and my cousins in this time of sorrow.  
Wish I was there to raise a glass with you! 

Love you all and wishing you Peace. 

Dan , Kimberly, Rae & Cavan


What a wonderful and loving person, Aunt Colleen! So many great memories. Always the life of the party! So happy you were part of my life.  Loved having you at our wedding in 95. Always a treat to see when we visited Austin.  Heaven is a little livelier now. Eternal rest with the Lord!

Love always, Mike, Maria, Nick, David, & Eric

Gma, you were so beautiful and caring. I am so grateful that I was able to spend my entire childhood knowing you.  With all my love, I will miss you dearly. ❤️

What a wonderful story you lived.  Love you forever! 

To Uncle Jim and all the Lynch cousins- my sincere condolences to all of you.  I pray that you are able to mourn and grieve the loss of such an amazing person in these crazy times.  It sucks and it isn’t fair that you are unable to handle the celebration of life process the way you would like because of all the “social distancing”.

Aunt Colleen was always quick to give a big hug and cut straight to the chase with some real questions.  Even in my final visit with her last Thanksgiving she was quick with a hug for my kids and compliment to them.  Thank you for all the good memories!  May you be rejuvenated in your time with the Lord.


Aunt Colleen, 
What can a say, you have made us laugh at all your stories. You knew more about the Lynch/McKenna Families than Jim and Bill did. You gave the best hugs and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for the love and warmth you gave us. We will miss you and give Grandpa and Grandma Lynch a big hug from all of us. Until we meet again. Love you! 

To Uncle Jim - my sincerest condolences! U & Colleen have always meant so much 2 me. Grateful for witnessing how much Colleen meant 2 U. Warm memories of the laughter, stories and of U 2 dancing. What a great couple! Always was evident to me that U 2 were the aunt & uncle who remained each other's boyfriend & girlfriend. Clearly Colleen was ur best friend. I know U R missing her. My heart goes out 2 U. All my memories of U 2 R positive ones.
To Kath, Jeff, Terese & Tim - I hope that in this time of loss U find solace in special memories of ur mom. As for one who sees little of his mom, I was always envious of all the time U all got to share together & that ur kids were able to share in that time. What a blessing. Hugs to you all!
My Aunt Colleen was special bc she made everyone around her feel special. I always looked forward to seeing her bc she would come right up to me, get in my face, look me right in the eye, tell me how great it was to see me, how handsome I looked and how beautiful my children were. Talk about an ego boost:) She always made me feel better about myself. But it wasn't blind adulation, if I ever seemed a little "too high on my horse", rest assured Aunt Colleen would bring me down a notch or 2...and with a smile. Had to respect & love that about her. I'm so grateful for all the time & attention she gave me. She will always remain such a strong force in the Lynch Family.
As for her legacy, I see Colleen in all her kids. They all possess her qualities of loyalty & integrity & all exhibit her spunk, energy & humor. These qualities are also evident in her grandchildren. Colleen truly made a lasting impression. We are all so blessed to have had such a loving, fun & dedicated lady in our lives. May God rest her soul! I LOVE YOU AUNT COLLEEN!

We will miss you Grandma. You were always a good time full of great stories and amazing memories.
