After her marriage, she moved to Linthicum, MD where she gave birth to four children; Karen, Kenneth, Kimberly and Keith. She was very active in her church, St Philip Neri, serving as Prefect of Lady�s Sodality, chairing many fundraising functions including the annual parish fashion show and participating in other church and school activities, with most of her time dedicated to her family. Desiring a Nursery School for her children, Colein initiated efforts resulting in the establishment of St. John�s Cooperative Nursery School in the old Linthicum Train Station in 1968. The Nursery School is still in existence today, 50 years later. She and her husband joined the Andover Swim and Racquet Club where the family enjoyed swimming and tennis.
