Colleen Diana Howard

A family legacy has been created as she leaves behind her four children, Barry (Ailsa), Michael (Melissa), Lynn (Bob), Greg (Carol), as well as 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Colleen grew up on her family farm in Oriole and attended the one room school house at the corner of Sheppard Avenue and Leslie Street. She graduated from Havergal College and went on to study at The MacDonald Institute in Guelph. After marrying the love of her life, our dad Barry, her life was always devoted to her family.

Our family would like to thank her private caregivers, Amina, Rosa, Gigi and Kendi for their continued devotion to providing the best care our mom could have had. We also thank the staff of 2 West Wing at Advent Valleyview Residence, for their care and kindness. Mom will be missed.

The family will be holding a private graveside service at a future date.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared with the family through the Kane-Jerrett Funeral Home website at www.kanejerrett-thornhill.ca.
