Colleen Shumway

Callan, we know your heart is breaking and your loss is profound. Your mother never failed to talk about you and your son anytime we saw her. She stopped in often at our bookstore in Billings to look for something new to read usually on MT history or the oil industry. She shared stories about her travels and work, comparing notes with Larry (who worked in a related field) about good courthouses to work in, laughed over bad record keeping and how the industry had changed. She enjoyed the work she did and I remember stories of her little tag-a-long in the early days. Even though we didn't see you grow up, we saw photos and often new what was happening in your life She was a caring lady and a support to us after Devin passed away. Loved when she popped in to say hello and to catch up, loved her smiling face. She would tell us about an upcoming trip to Bozeman to see you or about one she had just returned from. She loved you and Noah with here whole being. She will always watch over you.

Dawn and family, I am so sorry to read of the passing of Colleen. I wanted to reach out and offer my condolences to you all. Thinking of you in your time of loss.

Just wanted to share a couple pictures of Colleen watching the eclipse with her neighbors. We really enjoyed Colleen!
