It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our mother at her residence on Monday, June 15, 2026, Colleen Branton of Winterton, age 58 years.

Predeceased by father: Hedley; aunt: Hazel.

Leaving to mourn, sons: Shane and Colin; grandson: Logan; mother and best friend: Helen; brothers: Raymond and Keith; sister: Cindy (Keith-deceased); nephews: Blair and Jason (Lisa); great-nephews: Barry, Kody, and Blake; aunt: Irene; also a large number of other relatives and friends.

She was a quiet, caring, and loving woman whose presence brought comfort to those around her. A steady hand through life's challanges, she was the support who held her mothers hand walking along side her in constant support. She was the foundation of her family and a constant source of love and encouragement. Though she never sought recognition, her kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion touched countless lives.

She expressed her love through simple acts of generosity, patience, and understanding, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her family was her grestest joy, who she took great pride in.

Her sudden loss leaves a void that can never be filled, but the love she shared and the values she instilled will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.
