Coleen Ardell Hayes, 69, of Citrus Heights, passed away on August 18, 2025. Born on November 20, 1955, Coleen was known for her feisty spirit, quick wit, and unwavering loyalty to family and friends. She was always ready with a smile, a joke, and a love for life’s sweeter things.
She is survived by her children, Michael Johnson, Doug Hall, Janell Paul, and Jacob Paul; grandchildren Michael Jr., Stephanie, Tiffany, Rio, Julian, and Nonnie; great-grandchildren Kmarion and Maliah; and brothers Vernon Hayes, David Hayes, John Hayes, and Jerry Hayes.
Coleen will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her laughter, strength, and love will remain in the hearts of her family and friends.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
