<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
