Colette Baracker-Flynn, 52

Colette Janeen Baracker-Flynn passed away on Monday, May 22, 2023, at the age of 52, surrounded by her loving family and many friends. The pain of her absence will be felt by so many people who loved her dearly.

She was born on March 16, 1971, in Whitefish to Jerry and Sharan Baracker, the fourth of five siblings. She graduated from Whitefish High School in 1989. After a brief time in art school, she demonstrated amazing talent in accounting and business, springing from small opportunities to ever-increasing responsibilities and success in many business endeavors.

She married Tim Flynn in 2012. They shared remarkable generosity and love to a large circle of family and friends. They loved traveling and entertaining. Wherever their boat was in the world, they would always invite people to join them. They had two beautiful homes in Las Vegas and Whitefish, and their doors were always open to host weddings, baby showers, golf tournaments and parties for every occasion. So many joyful memories were made!

Colette was preceded in death by her husband Tim and her mother Sharan Baracker. She is survived by her father Jerry Baracker, and siblings Dawn Chan, Dee Anna Dillon, Kelly Baracker, and Jami Baracker along with nieces and a nephew, and many aunts, uncles and cousins in the Baracker, Corne and O’Brian families.

No memorial service is planned at this time.
