Following a courageous battle with cancer, Colleen Mary (Metoxen) Cottrell, 57, passed away peacefully on Friday morning, December 17, 2021. The daughter of Floyd B. Metoxen and Mary M. Bowser was born in Green Bay on December 28, 1963. Our hearts are broken, though we find solace in knowing she is in the loving arms of our parents and her beloved son Erwin.
Colleen was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. She was also a great baker and cook and had an eye for interior decorating which shone through in her beautiful home. She also loved to play the slot machines.
Colleen is survived by her loving husband Scott Cottrell, Son and daughter-in-law Louis and Fawn Cottrell, grandchildren Deja, Cade, Chloe, and Cameron, Siblings: Rena, Patrick (Lori), Michael (Kathy), Maureen, Kathleen, Shannon, and the entire Cottrell family.
