Margaret Colleen Kunkel (Mizeur), 75, passed away peacefully on April 21, 2026, at home in Texas, with her daughter by her side.

Born in Lynwood, California, Colleen was a true Southern California girl at heart. She carried her love for the ocean and sunshine throughout her life. She later made Texas her home, where she raised her beloved daughter, before returning to California in Santa Cruz with her husband, Jim Greene. After Jim’s passing, she settled once again in Texas, where she spent her final years surrounded by family.

Colleen was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Greene. She is survived by her daughter, Katie Clark, her son-in-law, Garrett Clark, and her cherished grandchildren, Aydan, Briley, and Macie, who were the light of her life.

She had a deep love for the ocean, treasured trips to Mexico, and found her greatest joy in her grandchildren. Colleen was also a passionate advocate for Alzheimer’s and cancer research, carrying compassion for others throughout her life.

To know Colleen was to love her. She was truly one of a kind; kind-hearted, strong-willed, and wonderfully stubborn. Even through the challenges of dementia, she never lost her sense of humor, bringing light and laughter to those around her until the very end.

Her family will remember her for her warmth, her strength, and the unwavering love she gave so freely. Her presence was a gift, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

A private service will be held by the family.

Colleen’s life was a beautiful reminder to love deeply, laugh often, and hold tight to the people who matter most.

"Many years ago, my dad handed me a box that contained a bunch of art projects and writing that I had done in elementary school. I didn’t realize any of it had been saved. As I went through it, I found a picture I had drawn in first grade, not long after Colleen had married my dad. I had drawn Dad, Colleen, and me, plus a pretend sibling (the real one showed up several years later, lol). I had labeled Colleen “Mommy C.” As I looked at that picture as an adult, I saw in her handwriting, “First time Jess called me Mom.” After a difficult adolescence and young adulthood, it cracked some of my rock hard exterior to see that she had loved me. I’m glad she had my sister Katie and I know she had a happy life always being near her."

"Colleen was an amazing mom, friend, and coworker. We shared the same birthday just 20 years apart but would take time to reach out to each other on that day . Such a beautiful soul and the biggest heart ! We worked at Bank of America together and remained friends through the years. We went different directions for a bit but as God would have it we once again crossed paths by way of my daughter Taylor entering preK and her grand daughter Briley entering prek. They quickly became best friends and have held onto that for the last 16 years, sharing so many memories with Honey Grams as they called her. She will be so missed!! We laughed, shared so many stories and had a great friendship. I am so blessed to have been apart of her life and the life long friendship with her daughter Katie and her family. Colleen I know you will be watching over our girls! Rest in peace sweet friend!"

"I was a caregiver to Colleen. I was only with her for about 3 1/2 months. In that short time we bonded. I loved her sense of humor. On her good days we would talk about many things. I was her caregiver but she gave me as much as I gave her. I feel this loss and I will definitely miss her. She was a very gracious lady."
