Obituary of Coleen Yvonne Matthias

Coleen Yvonne Matthias, 53, passed away late Friday, July 3, 2015 after a five year, hard fought battle with ovarian cancer. She was the strongest of the strong. Coleen was born to Bill and Karen Allinger in Vancouver, WA on January 14, 1962. She worked in the restaurant and hospitality industry for over 15 years familiarizing herself with every position from bartender to Regional marketing coordinator for all Northwest Baja Fresh locations. Colleen is survived by her love, Mark Mason; her son, Mychal Dynes and his wife, Jana; her brother, Bob Allinger, and his wife, Ragheda, and their five children; her grandsons, Mychal Jr. and Matthias, she cherished most of all. Many say they kept her going through her toughest times. She also had two well taken care of poodles, Nascar and Daytona, as well as countless friends and relatives that cared greatly for her.
