Colleen H. Wiss, 86, of Kansas City, KS passed away October 29, 2019. She leaves behind her husband Earl Wiss of the home, her son Christopher Wiss of New York, NY, her daughter Holly Snow of Kansas City, KS and her granddaughter Ashleigh Snow of Denver, CO. Memorial services near her home town of Fort Dodge, IA will be held at a later date. Colleen grew up in Fort Dodge and after marriage to Earl moved to Kansas City. She raised her family including multiple dogs in the Muncie and Turner areas of Kansas City, KS. She volunteered at Turner public schools and Argentine Youth Services (AYS) before taking a paid administrative role at AYS in the late 80's. She enjoyed laughter, wit, conversation, old movies (TCM was a favorite), books, cooking and baking, garage sales, stylish clothes, and the family pets. She found idle delight as a keen observer of the human parade. Memorial contributions in her memory can be made to LL Dog Rescue, PO Box 8545, Shawnee Mission, KS 66208, lldogrescue.org.
