Colleen Marie Losey was born October 1, 1947in Appleton, MN to Gordon and LeVina (Kashmark) Currey. She graduated from John Marshall High School in 1965 and was united in marriage to Paul “Bob” Losey on August 26, 1965 in Rochester.

Colleen had many hobbies over the years. She was a very creative person who enjoyed trying out different crafts. She could create anything involving sewing, drawing, painting, sculpting and anything floral. She loved cooking and trying new recipes plus had her favorites that everyone loved. Gardening was also her passion.

She was a very driven, giving person who always exceeded expectations. Over the years she held many jobs some of which she was able to use her creative skills. In her younger years she was a very talented wig stylist and hair model. After she married, she was able to stay home and take care of the two children until they became of an age for her to return to work. She then worked for the small grocery store in Grand Meadow, then a receptionist, then a convenience store manager at two different places and then finally landed her dream job of being a landscape designer. She loved everything about plants and flowers. Creating the front or back yards for people was her passion. She would not only design but also be the one digging holes. It was during this career that she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. For a few years following her diagnosis she fought through her disease and continued to create amazing landscapes.

Colleen is survived by her husband Paul “Bob” Losey of Grand Meadow, 2 children; Crystal (Devlan) Thorson of Boise, Idaho and Tate (Fiancé Michelle Germann) Losey of Cottage Grove, MN, 2 grandchildren Logan and Cora and 1 brother Craig Currey of Crystal Lake, IL.
