Colleen R. McGlone, age 52, passed away Monday, December 14, 2020 peacefully in her home. Born January 26, 1968 in Rochester, NY, she loved reading and spent much of her childhood surrounded by books. Colleen received her Bachelor’s Degree from American University in Washington, DC, a city she loved and called home for several years. She became a New Port Richey, FL resident in 2005 where she shared her wisdom and unique wit with Pasco County Library patrons and her co-worker family alike. She had a passion for orchids and native Florida plants, jewelry making, television, Birkenstocks and Crocs. Colleen is survived by brother John McGlone of Tarpon Springs and sister Kristin (John) Wood of Lutz. Per her wishes, there will be no public service. Her family would like to thank all those who cared for her and provided love and support.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Colleen’s memory to Friends of Centennial Park Library in Pasco County, FL.

A lucky September day 45 years ago, Colleen became part of my third grade class. at Sodus Primary. Her special gift was helping her fellow classmates with times tables, reading ,always with good humor. Her parents, sister Kristin and brother John were also friends outside of school! Rest In Peace ,Colleen.
