Colleen Arlene (Boland) Johnson, age 77, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2020 at New Perspective Senior Living in Mahtomedi, Minnesota. Formerly she resided in Isanti County. Funeral services and interment will be held at Long Lake Lutheran Church at a later date.
Colleen helped me into my very first starter home in 1998. She was a superb realtor that knew every aspect of the game and relished the conquest. A true pro that made what could have been a frightening coming of age experience so fun and adventurous. We did nothing but laugh after every showing, South Minneapolis fixer upper after fixer upper…until, pencil behind ear, shiny SUV to a screeching halt we found the “one” and flipping open probably the very first clamshell phone I ever saw Colleen did her magic and would not quit.
“This,” she said “This is THE dollhouse! Oh ya!”
I will never lose that memory of my youth. She was so very spirited, positive and warm and will live on so whenever I reminisce.
Sometimes you meet the right people at the right time. I will aways think of her laughing. Rest In Peace.
