Colleen Frances (Miller) Martinelli

Colleen (Miller) Martinelli, 65, of Dickson City, passed away at home on Tuesday. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, William “Bill” Martinelli Jr.

She was a true family matriarch. She always put the needs of her family first. Her happy place was at the beach with her feet in the sand. She loved the New York Yankees, Notre Dame Fightin’ Irish, board games, floating in the pool, reading, trying new recipes, and her grand pups, Rosie and Pippa.
She is also survived by her two beloved sons, Ryan, at home; and Eric (wife, Maggie), of Dalton; her siblings, Timmy Miller, of Denver, Colo.; Frank “Buddy” Miller (wife, Barbi), of Newton Twp.; and Debbie Kramer (husband, Paul), of Scranton; her mother-in-law, Delores Martinelli, of Olyphant; her siblings-in-law, Gery “Mert” Martinelli (wife, Cheryl), of Montdale; Dorie Mihalik (husband, Greg), of North Carolina; and Michalene Martinelli, of Scranton; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Mary and Frank “Buddy” Miller; her niece and goddaughter, Jessie Hallock; and her brother-in-law, Andy Martinelli.
