Mrs. Gladys Colleen Andrews, age 87 of Clarksville, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on September 11, 2019 at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. A celebration service of Colleen's life will be held Saturday, September 28, 2019 at Bartlett Funeral Home, 338 Court Street, Plymouth, MA. Visiting hours will be held 9:30AM-10:30AM with a Memorial service following at 10:30AM. Burial services will be private. Colleen radiated the essence of love and light. She was a generous and selfless woman, always putting the needs of others before her own. She lived with a spark of joy in her heart and had the special gift of being able to share it with others. Colleen was born in Stewart County, TN to the late Joseph Raymond and Dixie Moore Harris. Her childhood was spent helping on the farm and attending school. In 1953, Colleen packed her bags and ventured off to Washington DC, where she was employed by the FBI and then the Navy Department. Little did she know, this move would change the course of her life. While in DC, she attended a USO dance designed to entertain the GIs stationed there. She was reluctant to attend but as fate would have it, she met the love of her life and future husband, Mark Avery Andrews. That magical dance evolved into 63 years of a glorious love story, including raising 4 children in Duxbury, MA. Now reunited with the sweetheart she lost 14 months ago, the dancing can begin again! In addition to her parents, Colleen is preceded in death by her adoring husband of 63 years, Mark Avery Andrews and brother Cleveland "Teetle" Harris. Survivors include brothers, Bill Harris (Pia) and Melvin Harris (Sue), sister, Shirley Moore (Calvin), daughter, Laura Andrews, son Stephen Andrews (Michelle), son David Andrews (Kathy) and daughter Janice Hanrahan as well as 6 grandchildren: Sarah Andrews, Kaitlin Goebel (Brian), Nicole Hanrahan, Jackie Hanrahan, Ryan Andrews and Josh Andrews.
