Colette Marie-Louise Singleton, 78, a 40 year resident of Albuquerque, passed away Wednesday, March 10, 2010 after a brave battle with cancer. Colette was born in La Brodiere, Creuse, France in 1931. She attended her Catholic church and lived mostly in Aigurande s/r Bouzanne, Indre, France, one mile away from La Brodiere. She grew up there with her wonderful brothers, Andre and Maurice Gay. In 1955, Colette worked as a secretary and interpreter at the USAF base of La Martinerie, Chateauroux, France where she met her beloved husband, USAF Captain Clarence H. Singleton who was a civil engineer. Clarence "Buck" passed away in 1974 after only 18 years of marriage. Colette retired in 1993 as a federal employee where she worked for the US Army Recruiting Command as a statistical awards clerk. Colette was a hard working and devoted mother and grandmother. Colette enjoyed daily walks with her beagles, classical music, swimming and her garden. She leaves behind her children, Richard L. Singleton, Anne Marie Wilson, and Dennis C. Singleton; her grandchildren, Daniel N. Seitz, Rebekah L. Seitz, Erick L. Wilson, Hannah J. Singleton, and Chantel A. Singleton; son-in-law, Rick L. Wilson; daughter-in-law, Graziella T. Singleton; and her large extended family in Houston and France. The children of Colette want to express their love for their mother who worked so hard after their father passed away to raise three successful children. Mom will be forever missed and cherished.
