Colleen Ann Ashbery of Grand Rapids Michigan passed on October 23, 2025 at the age of 55.
Colleen was born in southern Minnesota and loved everything from the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” including The State Fair and all its assorted foods on a “stick” and was a dedicated Vikings fan. She loved music and dancing from polka to punk rock and everything in-between... Colleen loved to cook and grill, regardless of the weather serving up her “famous” Meat-a-Paloozas. She had a soft spot for rescues and strays helping as many Fur-Babies as she could.
Colleen is survived by her husband of 25 years, her children Ayeden, Alaura, Katelyn, and her granddaughter Juno. She is preceded in death by her loving parents David and Joann both whom she missed dearly.
To honor Colleen, consider a donation in her memory to a local animal rescue in lieu of flowers.
