Colleen Ann Barkow was 26 years old and from East Windsor, New Jersey. Colleen worked as a facilities director for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
On September 17th, 2001, Colleen's parents received a call from The New York City Medical Examiner's Office to tell them some of Colleen's remains had been found. Their daughter had died of smoke inhalation.
Firemen found her three rings on her body. Her engagement ring, her wedding ring, and her anniversary ring that Danny Barkow had given her in advance of their first wedding anniversary.
"She was a beautiful young woman. She could have been a runway model. She always had a smile for everybody," her father said.
