Phoenix - Colleen Crosby Williams, aged 89, passed away on January 28, 2026 in Phoenix, AZ. Born on June 21, 1936,
Colleen spent her formative years attending Schench High School, later establishing herself as a respected owner
and broker of Williams Real Estate.
Colleen is survived by her husband, George H. Williams Jr.; children, Susan L. Williams and Michael C. Williams;
and grandchildren, Phoenix Gosper, Ember Scanlon, John W. Gosper, Paul Gosper, and Erica Gosper. She was preceded
