Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 64 years, Thomas E. Nagowski, her daughter Connie Favreau (William), son David Nagowski (Amy); grandchildren Mallory Urbanski (Daniel), Nicolas Favreau (Carly), Bobbi Jo Nagowski; and great-grandsons Nathan Urbanski and Weston Favreau.

Colleen was a 1950 graduate of Peru Central School and Plattsburgh Business Institute. She started her career at A. Mason & Sons in Peru and when the Plattsburgh Air Force Base opened, she was secretary and stenographer to Brig. Gen. Kenneth O. Sandborn.

She was a proud military wife and above all things, was most grateful to be a mom, grandmother, and most recently, a great-grandmother. She really loved the simple things in life more than any possessions.

Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to her son's scholarship at Peru Central School. They can be sent to the Thomas H. Nagowski Scholarship, c/o Mountain Valley FCU, PO Box 565, Peru, NY 12972.
