Obituary of Colleen Jeanette Kerr
Colleen Jeanette Kerr
(August 1, 1978 - May 23, 2020)
On Saturday, May 23, 2020 at the age of 41 years, after her final battle with cancer, Colleen Jeanette Kerr (Maul) passed away with family holding her hands.
Colleen was born August 1, 1978. Right from a young baby she had a smile on her face for everyone around her and lit up a room when she entered. Some of her favorite days were spent with family and friends wherever that might be, but the brightest smiles and her most precious moments were when she held her three beautiful children in her arms. Colleen’s courage, grace, and happiness were freely shared with all those around her.
Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband Wes; beautiful daughter Chantal; dog Winston; parents Harvey and Bernadine Maul; sister Annette Lesmeister; brother Kevin (Janice) Maul; mother and father-in-law Daryle and Kathy; brother-in-law Mike; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Colleen was predeceased by her sons Bryce and Nolan; dog Keila; grandparents Hank and Gerda Mensink, and Willi and Johanna Maul; brother-in-law Ken; auntie Margaret Brenneis; and cousin Mark Mensink.
“Don’t cry because it’s over,
Smile because it happened.”
