On February 26, 1977, Colleen married the love of her life, Michael R. Sherno Sr. Together, they built a beautiful life, settling in New Jersey and raising their family. A LPN, Colleen dedicated her career to serving others, working with Dr. Flick and contributing her talents as a medical transcriptionist for Dr. Facciolo and other physicians. She also gave back to her community through her volunteer work at Family Promise.
Colleen's unwavering faith was central to her life. She found great joy in attending church, participating in Bible studies, and living out her love for the Lord. Her appreciation for the outdoors brought her countless cherished moments from walks, sunsets at the bay, to fishing and crabbing, Phillies games and family camping trips, particularly the Sherno annual camping trip to Knoebels.

Young) Lauren A. Sherno, and Taylor G. Sherno Brau (Jon T. Brau) and her three treasured granddaughters, Kaylyn LaBov, Adley Brau, and Scottie Brau. Colleen's love, care, and generosity were felt by everyone she met. She lived a life of servitude, embodying the true spirit of compassion and kindness. Her family fondly remembers her selflessness, humor, and deep love for them all.
