Beloved daughter of the late John and Lorraine Colao; sister of Ramona Colao, Laurel Colao Akhund, Christine Colao Ellison, Kathleen Colao Busch and Jane Colao Spell. Also survived by seven nieces and nephews and seventeen great-nieces and nephews.

When Camille was 14, her life was interrupted when she succumbed to schizophrenia.  She spent the remainder of her teenage and young adult years in and out of mental hospitals in MD.  She left MD to live in New York during her early 20s, and spent the remainder of her life living in several different adult homes, where she settled into routines that allowed her to be comfortable and find contentment in her life.  She spent the last 26 years of her life at Mermaid Manor with Assisted Living in Brooklyn, NY, where she was taken excellent care of.  She passed unexpectedly at the age of 70 early Saturday morning, May 25th, 2019.  She will be missed deeply by her fellow residents and the administrators of Mermaid Manor, and will be missed profoundly by her family, particularly her five surviving sisters.
