Colleen Helen (Corbett) Wahl of Edina, Minnesota passed away peacefully on April 12, 2024 in the morning sunlight surrounded by her adoring husband Jim and five children.
Growing up in Hopkins, Minnesota, Colleen blossomed amidst the warmth of an Irish Catholic household, surrounded by nine beloved siblings. From those roots, she cultivated a radiant personality characterized by warmth, a tireless work ethic, and an unwavering devotion to family and community.
It was fate that led her to Jim, her high school sweetheart, at a spirited basketball game, and together they crafted a life filled with boundless love and cherished memories. Their journey was graced by the presence of five children, who brought immeasurable joy, and later by the laughter of 15 adored grandchildren.
As a dedicated realtor, Colleen didn't just sell houses; she welcomed clients into her extended family, tirelessly striving to match each one with their perfect home. Throughout her 87 years, her infectious spirit touched countless lives, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and joy. She taught those around her the power of a genuine smile, a warm greeting, and the transformative impact of seeing the best in others. Today, we celebrate her remarkable life and the countless hearts she uplifted along the way.
Survived by her husband Jim, her son Steve (Susan), daughter Lisa Reilly (Mike Reilly), daughter Karen, son Chris (Barb Recke), and daughter Leslie Stageberg (Brad Stageberg) and grandchildren Shannon (Reilly) Daugherty, Connor Reilly, Ryan Reilly, Mike Reilly, Caitlin Reilly, Zach Wahl, Jake Wahl, Matt Wahl, Corbin Wahl, Brendan Wahl, Caden Wahl, Makenzie Wahl, Ben Stageberg, Casey Stageberg and Jessica Stageberg.
