Colleen was born March 26, 1932, in Twisp, Washington, to Ruby and Boyd Eiffert. She attended school there until her marriage to Jack Cramer. She was active in the Catholic Church and served her family there.

After Jack’s death, she married Larry Braillard and made a home in Snohomish, Washington, and then Coupeville, Washington, on Whidbey Island, and after his retirement moved to Swan Lake and built her dream home with a beautiful view of the lake. She suffered a stroke, leaving her with left-sided weakness in 2009.

She is survived by one sister, Lynn Bates, and husband, Arkin, of South Dakota; stepsister, Cheryl Egland, of Twisp; brother, Rick Eiffert, of Spokane; sons, John Cramer of Twisp and wife Carrie, and Ron Cramer and wife Shannon of Winthrop, Washington; daughters, Cindy Love and husband Monte of Swan Lake, and Diana Cramer, also of Swan Lake. She is a grandmother to 21 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed by all.

A memorial service in her honor will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Swan Chapel.

The family suggests that in lieu of flowers donations may be sent to Home Options Hospice.
