The following obituary is repeated from Legacy Remembers published on Feb. 1, 2026.

 

 

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 in death by her parents, Frank W. Crosby and Helen R. Lee; brothers, Gordon, Donald, Joseph, Seldon, and Lyndon Crosby; and sisters, Margaruite Dow, Ferne Stanley, and Gwendolyn Serafin.
Throughout her life, Colleen was passionately involved in the Commission of Aging. Her leisure activities included frequent shopping, particularly enjoying donuts, a simple pleasure that brought her much joy.
A celebration of life will be held at a later time in East Millinocket, Maine.
