As you've heard, our dear friend Colleen Gilbert is no longer with us.
I just spoke to Colleen's brother Dick Gilbert and he authorized me to post the following information. On Tuesday, Colleen was seen by neighbors mowing her lawn and packing her car and taking her dog to be boarded while she went to Fort Ticonderoga. On Wednesday the 25th of June, Colleen finished loading her car, locked her trailer and got in the car to leave to meet the group going to Ft. Ti. She was found around noon by a neighbor, sitting in the driver's seat with the door open.
The funeral will be on Wednesday, July 2nd at 10:30 AM at the Greenwell Funeral Home in Martinsville, Illinois. Visitation will be on Tuesday from 4-7 pm.
Colleen's mother, and brother have asked that in honor of Colleen's love for her reenacting friends, and her love for history, we all attend the funeral in 18th century attire.
At this time, your points of contact are Steve Caudill and myself. My cell phone is 270-996-7099.
As plans are finalized, we'll be posting them here. Please direct other message boards here, or feel free to duplicate this info on other boards.
YHS,
Frank Jarboe (Parson John) |

Friends:
I have known Colleen Gilbert since my children were small and took enormous delight in seeing her progress through this madness we call a hobby. As gruff in appearance as she may have been while in character, a heart of pure gold beat beneath it all with a genuine love for her family, friends and reenacting. She will be one of the now many we will miss until we are with them again! Blessed Be, Hester!

Sad to hear this.
May she rest in peace.

***we need 2 more pallbearers from reenactors***
Please email me @ fjarboe@bellsouth.net if you will be able to fill one of these last 2 positions.
Also, Dick tells me they will need a home for "Toes" - Colleen's dog. He's about 8 years old - rescued from the pound, house broken and crate trained - askes to go out to the fenced yard. Very well behaved. Toes looks like a very large Schipperkee and has the definitive Schip personality. Let me know if you're interested - he's being taken care of for the moment.
