[Oe List ...] Colleen Birch Smith

[Priscilla Wilson]

I remember Colleen in Tonga during the Pacific Training School when I was there. A dear woman…will be missed by family and colleagues. It is a blessing that a time of the end of pain can come.

> Colleen Birth Smith left this life Thanksgiving afternoon in Moab Utah where she had lived for several years near her son and his family.  She and her husband, Victor, came to the community from Salt Lake City where they were in the religious house.  They went to Cusak, WA when the project began there and she worked as a Vista volunteer.  Victor died in 1980.  In 1982 she took assignment to Samoa and then to Tonga, returning in 1985 and living in Denver.  She moved to Moab several years ago to be near family.  She has been sick for some time and while there is sorrow on our part that she has left us, we also rejoice that her earthly pain is over.  She leaves two sons and a daughter and many colleagues who remember her keen understanding and her passion for justice wherever she was.
