Colleen had two children, David born 1958 and Renee born 1965. Early on, she was very involved in her children’s lives taking them to ball games, swim team, cheerleading & various other activities. She loved to stay active and enjoyed tennis at
Embry Hills Club, walking & traveling to many places around the country and Europe.
After Charles passed in 1979, Colleen showed her amazing resilience & spirit in creating a new life. She became quite involved in a variety of organizations including Egress, Never Too Old (NTO) and Embry Hill United Methodist Church.

More than anything, Colleen was extremely devoted to her family. She will be remembered for the special way that she loved, cherished and stood by her family, no matter what. That will be her greatest legacy.
Colleen is survived by her son and daughter in law David & Georgia Lister of Alpharetta GA, daughter Renee of Chamblee GA, Grandchildren Jordan Lister of Alpharetta, GA and Brandon Lister of Brookhaven, GA , one Great grandson Jeylen Lister of Alpharetta, GA and many nieces and nephews.
