Colene

I only met her a few times at Pappys and she was always giving something away or trading, The pot luck dinner line she always came by with some appetizer homemade cheese dips that were out of this world, a truly unique woman. Bob

The first time I met Colene was at Carolina Traditional Archers State Shoot at Hickory, NC many years ago. A bunch of us were cutting the fool one evening when she walked up with a crossbow she had made. She has hand filed the leaf spring of a golf cart for the prod. The xbow pulled about 150# and Colene would cock it bare handed like it was nothing. Colene stopped going to the CTA shoots because her son died on Memorial Day weekend when that shoot took place. Her son's death really put a cloud over Colene's demeanor as it would anyone but Colene kept on trucking.
Another time at the Tenn. Classic Colene shot with Steve, Tina and Cody Parker and myself. Cody was probably about 9 and as we walked along the trail of the course she would feed Cody her arrows which Cody would send off to the way beyond but Colene would hand Cody another arrow and give him pointers. By the end of that round Colene had no more arrows. She went to her teardrop camper and come back out with another set of arrows ready for another round.
Another time Colene asked for my home address. A week or so later 2 large boxes came by UPS full of leather. It was mostly scraps but lots of good leather also. But, that was Colene.

Great picture, Eric!
Pappy:
Thanks for the picture Eric, that was her spot in the front yard, some ask why I let her camp in the front yard with Electric, I would just tell them
"because I like her" :) I will miss her for sure.

I understand she was an organ donor and had made arrangements prior to the death to make sure it happened, typical Colene. After her organs were donated she had planned for cremation.
