Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

There will be a moment of silence for Colleen Jones ahead of tonight's women's draw at the Olympic Curling Trials.

Many of her family members, former teammates and friends will be here.

High emotion in her hometown and home province.

Colleen would tell me to buck up and get back to the rink. That there are stories to tell and scores to share and life to live.

And so I’m here. And this is tough.

But it’s comforting to be with the curling community. And we’ll honour Colleen and celebrate Colleen.

Here’s how I’m going to remember my pal Colleen Jones.

Oh did we laugh.

A Canadian treasure. An immense loss.
November 25, 2025 at 6:56 PM
Colleen Jones was larger than life.

I’m devastated by her death. And will be forever inspired by how she lived. And fought. And loved.

More than anything I’ll miss our laughs and lattes. And am so grateful for every second we had together. I love you, Coll.
