Colleen graduated from Baraboo High School in 1943. On September 27, 1947 she married Deane "Bun" DuBois at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, at which she has been a faithful member since attending grade school there. She was also a lifetime member of the St. Theresa Altar Committee. Colleen worked in the office of Dr. Melvin Huth for over 40 years and enjoyed every minute of helping his patients. She and Bun felt very blessed to have spent over 20 winters in Palmetto, Florida and they made many friends there as well. Colleen also enjoyed golf, summer evenings on their patio or screened porch, her flowers, and watching the birds.
Survivors include her nieces, Kay Fecher, Colleen (Paul) Bell and family; nephew, Dr. Jeff (Lori) Judson and family; Marcia DuBois, Kristi (Tim) Stone and family, and many friends. She will be forever remembered by special friends, Ramona Anderson, Gary and Jacki Crawford, Marilyn Nechvatal, Tom and Sue Robinson, and Ginny Johnson who lovingly looked after her and Bun for many years. It was truly our pleasure to help in any way our memories are now our treasures.

Dear nieces, nephew and friends of Colleen I never regretted having to visit Doctor Huth’s office when I was little and even when I grew older. It was a very handsome building at 4th and Ash, the only one in Baraboo with glass block windows! Walking inside, a wonderfully distinctive aroma filled the interior, and all the rooms had another first in town, terrazzo floors! As we entered the office door inside my mother and I were always met by the smiling cheery face of Colleen Dubois (I never knew her name when I was little). After waiting patiently in the reception area and rummaging through their magazines that I had never ever seen before, she escorted us into his office when our time had come and left us with him with another smile. The doctor was always serious and straightforward with whatever problem we brought him and I never doubted his words, even when he told me I needed a shot. Together they were two of best people in my world when I was young. I’m still grateful that such good people were my medical team whenever I needed them. Thank you for all you did for me, dear Colleen. David Greenhalgh
