Coleen Marie Faughn
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Coleen Marie Faughn (Triggs) on Friday, January 17, 2025, at the age of 73.
“Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.”
-John C Maxwell
Throughout the years, this is how she created her happiness and became a cherished wife, loving mother, proud grandma, and a friend to so many.
She married her beloved Frank Faughn Jr. on November 13, 1971. Out of their love came Minde and Jarrad, and her happiness grew. Throughout the years of games, recitals, events, and family gatherings, many friendships were built, good times were had, and many cherished memories were made. This only increased as her family grew again with Minde, Kevin & their 3 boys, Grant, Barrett & Brody Stone, and with Jarrad, Kimberlee & their 3, Leland, Lynae & JaRon Faughn.
We are all so lucky to be a part of her happiness and to know her kindness, love, friendship and laughter.
Friends and family are warmly invited to join in a celebration of Coleen’s life in an open house Saturday, February 1, 2025, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Cappy’s Hotspot & Bar (5560 S. 48th St, Lincoln).
A private family Mass will be held to honor Coleen’s memory.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Heartland Cancer Foundation.
Although we mourn the loss of her empty seat at the table or in the stands, our hearts will mend, knowing her love and spirit will forever illuminate our hearts.

Condolences for Coleen Marie Faughn
Coleen was a great friend to me and her of her second family at Cappy’s, I will miss her immensely. Coleen was ALWAYS happy, go with the flow and laugh all of the time. You knew when she arrived until the moment she left. She was so proud of her family and her grandchildren Coleen and Frank aways brighten the room when they walked in and put a smile on our faces. Coleen will be missed.
Sweet Coleen. I had so many fun times with you in Mexico. I’m glad I have those moments to cherish. We did have some good laughs. Will miss your sweet smile.
Love ya, Rose
