Colleen Kittle

Colleen Emma Kittle passed away peacefully, Monday, September 8, 2025 at the Health Science Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 85 years, surrounded by family.

Colleen was predeceased by her parents, Bob and Norma McLaughlin, husband Les Kittle, her life long partner Fred Bouteiller, brothers Harold, Donald, Mervin, and Garry McLaughlin, sister Jean Potkonjak and her grandson Daniel Bryson.

Colleen will be missed, but lovingly remembered, by her children, Kim (Lyle) Bryson, Karen (Jim) Cheyne, Ken (Sammie) Kittle and Tyler (Karen) Kittle. Colleen was blessed to be loved deeply by her grandchildren Christy (Braden) Coates, Evan Smith, Matthew Smith, Holly Bryson, Jeremy (Isabel) Smith, Tayler Kittle (Avery Velho), Kira Kittle, Kiele Kittle and Kalena Kittle (Corbin Collier). She is lovingly survived by her eight great grandchildren, Emerson, Anthony, Madden, Ana, Remington, Arch, Ryett and Arden.

Colleen will be deeply missed by her brother, Jim McLaughlin (Susan Neigum), brother-in-law Ron Potkonjak, sister-in-law Maureen McLaughlin, as well as her many beloved nieces and nephews. She also held a special place in her heart for Fred's son, Rob (Treena) Bouteiller, and their daughter Ashley Bouteiller (Mark Eggert).

The residents of Ash Crescent Manor were especially close to her heart - and she to theirs. Colleen's dear friends, Patsy and Dayantha, were like family, and their love and friendship meant the world to her.
