She led a faith-filled life and was an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church where she was involved in the Altar Rosary Society, Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament and a funeral lunch coordinator. Coletta was a founding member of Heartbeat and the initiator of the geranium fundraiser sale. She was an award-winning quilter until her hands grew too tired. Coletta was chief organizer and map reader for the family travels across North America. Together she and Gene created everlasting memories for their seven kids in a pop-up camper and station wagon for weeks at a time. During the winters, hot chocolate and skate tying became her specialty.
