It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister Colleen Dorothy Riesebosch (nee Dilts) 1944 – 2022. She passed away peacefully with the love of her family by her side on Thursday, November 10, 2022 at the Hamilton General Hospital.
Loving wife and best friend of 56 years to Henry.
Amazing mother to Scott (Laura-Lee) and Heidi Lambrechts (Brent).
Cherished grandmother to Arianna, Gillian, Nathan and Kaya.
Forever missed by her brother David (Marvel) as well as many close friends both locally and from their time in Florida.
Predeceased by her parents Arthur and Dorothy.
Colleen was a kind, patient and thoughtful woman who always put her love for family first. She taught those around her to have compassion for others and brought joy into the world through her famous one liners and the funny looks she would give. Colleen had a passion for enjoying whatever life had to offer, camping and of course animals.
Please join the family at the celebration of life Monday, November 21 from 6-9 pm in the community hall (upstairs) of Welland arena (501 King Street, Welland).
In keeping with Colleen’s wishes cremation has taken place.
