Colleen graduated from Russell High School and made the trip to Salt Lake City where she resided at the Beehive House and began working for Zions Bank.
She met the love of her life L Richard (Dick) Sisam at an LDS Fireside. Their marriage was later solemnized on July 2, 1954 in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Their love affair lasted a wonderful 60 years, during which time they were blessed with 4 children; Lorrin, Becky, David and Shannon.
Mom enjoyed being a tour guide at the Beehive House where she previously resided as well as traveling the world, camping, boating, skiing, tennis, spending time at the family cabin and bowling, where she won many medals in the Huntsman Senior Games. Her talents were numerous including singing, acting, calligraphy, ceramics, toll painting, shopping and making Ukrainian eggs, to mention a few. She shared her testimony and talent while servings in various callings in the LDS church. Mom's quick wit and love for life extended to many including her service in the Utah Aids Foundation where many people benefited from her generous nature and compassion.
