She received her education at the Christchurch Normal School, at Christchurch West High School, and at the University of Canterbury.
She was an Associate Chartered Accountant.
Colleen Elizabeth Dewe (30 May 1930 – 22 May 1993) was a New Zealand politician of the National Party.
Dewe was born in Hokitika in 1930.
Dewe was head clerk for the Christchurch company Lake & Lake from 1956 to 1958.

She and Marilyn Waring were the 14th and 15th women elected to the New Zealand Parliament, and she represented the Lyttelton electorate for one parliamentary term from 1975 until her defeat in 1978.
She represented the Lyttelton electorate from 1975 to 1978, when she was defeated by Ann Hercus.
She told fellow MP Marilyn Waring that she had never been subject to discrimination throughout her life, to which Waring asked whether she had ever attended one of the dinners of the annual New Zealand Accountants conference.
Those dinners were for men only, and Waring believes that Dewe never stated again that she wasn't a feminist.
Dewe was a resident of Sumner while she was an MP.
She was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal in 1977, and the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal in 1990.
