She was born the oldest child to Lary J and Sandra Kirk on February 2nd, 1965 in Provo, Utah. She grew up with her four siblings in Orem, Utah and loved each of them dearly. Throughout her childhood, Colleen showed a talent for the performing arts. She started gymnastics at the age of 3 and would fall in love with dance and cheer throughout Junior High and High school. When she was 10 years old, Colleen started a singing and dance camp in the front yard (her Sunshine Group) with the neighborhood kids to keep them entertained for the summer. Colleen made many lifelong friendships growing up in her close-knit neighborhood and while she attended Mountain View High School. Colleen's love and friendship came easily to those around her and was unconditional. She had a way of making everyone feel like their best friend and was considered a Sister to many that were closest to her. She had the biggest smile and a contagious laugh that could brighten our darkest days. After high school, Colleen served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Akron, Ohio where she would meet the love of her life. She married Tim Kennedy in the Salt Lake Temple on April 9, 1988. They share two daughters, Cassidy and Jade. During their marriage, Colleen graduated from Bon Losee and opened up a salon in her home where she gained many more treasured clients and friends. It was also during this time Colleen was involved in a serious car accident and developed dependency issues. Tim and Colleen would later be divorced. Several years following, she would find a home in a salon called Studio 210 where she would be introduced to her second husband Derek Briggs. She fell in love with the Briggs family and was welcomed into their home with ease. Sadly, they would also later be divorced. Colleen's health struggles were many and she endured countless procedures and doctors appointments to help improve her quality of life. Throughout her medical journey, Colleen never seemed to lose hope that she might one day recover and be able to enjoy the things and people she loved the most; spending time with her only granddaughter, Indie, attending concerts and movies, making beautiful jewelry, gathering with family for the holidays, laughing, and cuddling her cat named "Kitty." She is survived by two daughters, Cassidy (Matt) Mizell, Jade (Liam) De-Vall; granddaughter Indie De-Vall; parents Sandra Kirk Sawaya and Bill Sawaya; siblings Steve (Nancy) Kirk, Kim (Scott) Brown, Karie (Lance) Wiley; 7 nieces and nephews Connor (Chelsea), Taylor (Jake), Jaxon, Jake, Kirk, Lexi, and Josie; her loving Sawaya family; and her loyal lifelong friend Phil Welcker. Preceeded in death by her father, Lary James Kirk and sister Angela Kirk, grandparents Verl and Ora Kirk and Wayne and Phyllis Monk.
