Colleen Elizabeth Stuhler

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Colleen Elizabeth (née Kilroy) Stuhler, of Marlton, NJ, who died on August 11, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with lung disease.

Born on July 11, 1970, in Camden, NJ, Colleen was the third of four children of Andrew Kilroy and the late Julia Kilroy‑Wolfinger. She grew up in Collingswood, NJ, before settling in Marlton, where she built a warm, loving life devoted to her family.

Colleen believed wholeheartedly that her greatest purpose was to love and care for those closest to her. For more than 25 years, she was also a dedicated and valued member of the Arett Sales family, known for her loyalty, work ethic, and kindness. Above all, she was a beloved mother, wife, grandmother, sister, and friend whose presence brought comfort and joy to everyone around her.

Colleen found joy in the simple things that made life sweet. She looked forward to every Philadelphia Eagles season, proudly hosting game days with her famous spinach dip and snacks. She adored the show Friends and made sure to be in front of the TV every Thursday night at 8pm when it aired. She loved cross‑stitching, camping trips with family and friends, and the hunt for the perfect Italian rum cake.

Colleen was preceded in death by her mother, Julia; her mother‑in‑law, Patricia; her brother‑in‑law, Thomas; and her son, Joseph.

She is survived by her husband, Andrew; her daughter, Jessica (Daniel) Alexander; her cherished grandchildren, Millie, Cillian, and Gwendolyn; her father, Andrew; her siblings Julia (Michael) Penn, Sean Kilroy, and Denise (Thomas) Valiante; and many nieces, nephews, and loved ones who will forever hold her memory close.

A celebration of Colleen's life will be held at a later date following the arrival of her newest granddaughter this September.
