Colleen (nee Murray) Waller, age 44, of 2230 Meadowbrook Court, Oshkosh passed away on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 surrounded by her family at the family residence.
Coll was born on July 11, 1967 in Camp Lejeun, NC to Michael P. Murray and the late Connie Hetue Murray. She graduated from Menomonie High School with the class of 1985 and later went on to attend college at Marion University. Coll had worked as a caregiver for over 15 years and was most recently employed with Todd Steven and Associates in Oshkosh. She also was a proud volunteer for Americorp. Coll enjoyed spending her time at Eric's dad's cabin, being with Hunner and P at their lake house, watching sunrises on the deck with her "slug sisters" when Connie came to visit, and just being with all of her family and friends. She felt most accomplished for raising two beautiful, intelligent, and talented daughters and also for having the love and respect of all the people she cared for over the years.
Survivors include her partner: Eric Martinson, Oshkosh; two daughters: Dana Lee Waller and Christina Rene Waller, both of Oshkosh; two granddaughters: Allison and Abigail; father: Michael P. Murray, Oshkosh; sister: Michelle (Ken) Donicht, Oshkosh; also other relatives and friends. Coll was preceded in death by her mother, Connie on April 28, 2011.

A Celebration of Coll's life will be held by her family and friends at 4 pm on Sunday. Cremation will take place at the Harrigan Parkside Crematory and Chapel.
