Colleen Kay Placker

Colleen Kay Placker, 74, of Mabelvale, Arkansas, passed away on November 6, 2026. She was born on April 7, 1952, in Buchanan, Michigan.

Colleen leaves behind her loving family, including Joe Allred (Natalie) and Tonya Johnson (Shane); grandchildren, Austin and Justin Allred, Renee and Maddox Johnson; and great-granddaughter, Lylynn Allred. She is also survived by her sisters, Sherri Goode, Starr Barkmann, and April Crowe, along with many other family members and dear friends who will miss her greatly.

Anyone who knew Colleen knew she had a kind and giving heart. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and had a special love for working in her yard, which was one of her greatest joys. We find comfort in knowing that she is now in Heaven supervising God's garden. Colleen will be remembered for her kindness and the love she shared with those around her.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
