The couple later divorced but remained friends. Colette worked various jobs including working at the State Hospital in Anoka, Minn. and the Red-Carpet Inn in Elk River, Minn. Following a move to a farm near Truman, Minn. in the late 1990’s, Colette worked as a paraprofessional in the Fairmont and Truman School Districts in addition to working as a clerk at a gas station, helping at Twelve Baskets, and also helping as an assistant at Goldfinch Memory Care. Colette was a very private person who loved spending time exploring on her acreage with her four-legged friends. She had a passion for photography and took advantage of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on her farm. Colette was extremely compassionate and helping others brought her great joy.
