Colleen Klein, spouse of former Alberta premier Ralph Klein, has died after months of failing well being.
Teresa Klein, the couple’s daughter, made the announcement on social media on Tuesday, saying the 83-year-old handed away peacefully within the early morning.
“Colleen’s presence in our lives was a source of endless love and warmth. Her compassionate spirit and dedication to helping others were hallmarks of her character,” Teresa mentioned of her mom in an announcement launched to the media Tuesday night time.
In 2005, Ralph and Colleen Klein have been visited by Queen Elizabeth II on the Alberta Legislature.

“Though she is no longer with us, Colleen’s essence will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten.”
Colleen was recognized for her many charitable causes. Her husband Ralph handed away in 2013.
The household mentioned there will likely be no service at Colleen’s request and they’re requesting privateness throughout this tough time.
