Colleen Annette Regan
Born July 18, 1949 in Detroit, Michigan. Died August 9, 2006 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Colleen never recovered
from a near drowning accident in Mexico on April 8, 2006. Her last conscious act was to save a friend from
drowning.
Colleen epitomized the era of the 60s and loved the music of John Lennon, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors and
others. She graduated as valedictorian of her high school class at McKenzie High School in 1967 then received a
BA in English and MS in Education to start her professional career as a teacher, but that wasn’t her niche. She
went back to school to get a BS in Accounting and an MS in Taxation and became a dedicated CPA with a 20 year
career; her tax clients more often than not became her friends. She loved to travel and visited several countries
before her retirement in July 2003 at which time she began traveling fulltime in an RV mostly in Mexico and
Central America.
Colleen was a highly competent CPA and a generous friend who sampled life like a hummingbird samples flowers.
She was fearless, generous, loving, talented, hard working, impish and eccentric and will be missed by all who
knew her. She knew there is more to learn than what we discover during our lifetime on this planet and now she is
out there finding out what she always suspected was our inter-connectedness in the universe. She was ever
hopeful that we humans would learn to take better care of this Earth and learn to live peacefully as one united
world. We who loved Colleen will watch for her to show up in our lives when we most need her or least expect it.
She is survived by her father Ramon Regan, aunt Grace Baker, sister Kathleen Regan, brother James Regan
and his wife Nita, sister-in-law Jerri Regan, nieces Cathryn, Courtney, Marguerite and Paige Regan, nephews
James, Stephen and Brett Regan, partner Kathe Kirkbride, son Jared Matts and many friends from her years in
Nevada and New Mexico. Colleen’s mother Betty Regan and her brother John Regan predeceased her.
