Colleen Ann Anderson, BHS '65 (1946-1988)


Colleen Ann Anderson

From Sara Marino Becaria, BHS '67:

"My Cousin Colleen was born March 3, 1946. She passed away in a Sun Valley Hospital in 1988. Her name was Colleen Ann Anderson (Gosling). She was divorced from Kyle Gosling. She had two daughters, Jamie and Helen Kennedy from her first marriage to James Kennedy.

"Eight weeks after she passed, her daughter Helen was in a car accident, hit the guardrail on the 134 before the 5 North. She sustained head injuries and passed away after a couple weeks in the hospital. She passed at 19 years old leaving behind a 16 year old sister Jamie. It was devastating."

Helen Kennedy graduated from Burbank High in 1986. Click here to read her obituary.

"Jamie did get married and had two daughters. Jamie was not well and she separated herself from the family. When she passed away, my parents and I went to Jamie's Celebration of Life about 15 yrs ago. She was young. Her Grandma Helen, Colleen's mother and my dad’s sister, is 94 and lives in Ohio with Colleen's sister, Donna Blaney. Very painful for her to remember the past."

"Colleen was also survived  by her father, Bob who has since passed away, and her brother Bobby Anderson who lives in Nevada."

I have fun memories as kids hanging out with Sara and her fun-loving cousin, Colleen. RIP Colleen.
