Colleen Langendoerfer
July 29, 1938
January 19, 2026
Colleen Langendoerfer, age 87, was gently welcomed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on January 19, 2026. She was born on July 29, 1938, and raised in southern Illinois, where her faith, kindness, and strong values were formed and carried with her throughout her life.
Colleen was first married to Jack Butler, and together they were blessed with a son, Garry Butler, who remained the pride and joy of her life. Jack passed away in 1980, a loss Colleen endured with quiet faith and strength. God later blessed her again with love when she met and married Roger Langendoerfer in 1984. Their marriage was a true partnership, filled with devotion, laughter, and deep affection.
Colleen devoted many years to a successful career in banking, working in Rochelle, Illinois, and later in Colorado Springs. She was employed at Colorado Springs National Bank, Wells Fargo, and Chase National Bank, where she was known not only for her professionalism but for her gentle spirit and caring heart.
She found joy in life's simple blessings—reading a good book, playing dominoes with dear friends, and collecting angels, a reflection of her faith and her belief in God's loving presence. Colleen lived her life with grace, compassion, and a quiet trust in the Lord. Today, she rejoices in heaven, reunited with loved ones who went before her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Jack Butler; her stepson Rocky Langendoerfer; and her siblings Ferry Hopkins, Katie Hanney, Marcy Copeland, Nita Cauble and Larry Dillman.
Colleen is survived by her devoted husband, Roger Langendoerfer; her beloved son, Garry Butler; her grandchildren, Christopher Butler and Laura O'Connell; her great-granddaughter, Paige Davis; her sister, Rebecca Williams; and many loving nieces, nephews, dear friends, and all whose lives she touched.
A funeral service celebrating Colleen's life and faith will be held on January 31 at 2:00 p.m. at Swan Law Funeral Directors, 501 N. Cascade Ave, CSCO, 80903.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to National Mill Dog Rescue or the Alzheimer's Foundation.

I worked with Colleen at Wells Fargo. She was a beautiful, sincere person. She always had a smile and never had a negative word for anyone. I admired her. My condolences to Roger and all of her family.

So sorry to hear this. Although she was a little older than me I always remember her as a beautiful person inside and out.

I adored Colleen! She managed our front desk for the Wells Fargo Private Bank in Colorado Springs. Colleen was always professional, helpful, good humored and had a smile that welcomed everyone. We shared many laughs and similar life values. I can't express how much I appreciated and enjoyed Colleen. Godspeed, my friend.
