Our entire Draper family was heartbroken when we heard the news of the tragic passing of alumna Colleen Hoopes (Buckley).
Colleen was truly a bright light. She was a kind, and giving person, and a gifted, passionate, and dedicated artist.
While at the Draper center she was a role model for so many. After graduating from Indiana university she went on to pursue her dreams of being a professional dancer with Arizona Ballet. Colleen never missed a chance to come home and visit her Draper family, and we were delighted when she did.
She was an inspiration for the next generation of Draper dancers, and a true friend to her Draper peers.
We send our love, support, and condolences to her family in this difficult time. We are humbled that her parents Deb and Ed Buckley plan to create a scholarship here in her name.
She will be missed.
