Colleen loved the outdoors, Colleen and Loren would spend weekends fishing, & camping, her favorite place to camp and fish was Eleven Mile Reservoir, they went there every year for 25 years on their anniversary and would spend a week there. In 2017 Colleen and Loren bought a side by side atv, they traded in their fishing and camping gear for something a little more exciting. Colleen loved riding the atv in the high-altitude mountains of Colorado, she wouldn’t often drive, but when she did, she was a very safe driver, one of her favorite places to go was Leadville, Colorado where Colleen and Loren lived for 7 years. Marshall Pass by Poncha Springs was another favorite area to go riding, Colleen made Loren take her there more than 20 times. Colleen would also assist Loren when they would go firewood cutting.  Colleen also had a love for animals, since 1992 they adopted several pets, including 7 dogs, and 6 cats.
