| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on October 4, 2016 <<< On Sept. 29, 2016 Mary E. Collins of Lake Havasu City left with the angels to join her family in Heaven. She is preceded in death by her husband John, sisters Catherine and Lillian and brothers John and James. She is survived by her children, Kathleen Moon (George), John Collins (Marion), Mary Simpkins (Henry), and Michael Collins (Margie). She leaves behind nine grandchildren and 13 great- grandchildren. Mary and John came to Havasu in 1974 from Long Island and never looked back. In 1975, Mary joined Claypools True Value in Havasu, where she managed the store. From there, she managed the Needles store before she retired in 1992. Our mother had to be one of the sweetest, kindest, non-judgmental person that you could ever meet, her family said. Everyone she came in contact with, she embraced, and they embraced her. She loved people. Thank you to all her friends and neighbors for all the support they have given. The family is in your debt for your kindness. Mary also leaves behind one of her most precious possessions, “Hope”, her cat, who will be living with her son Michael. Mary requested that there be no services. Her favorite charity is Hospice of Havasu and the Western Arizona Humane Society for those who wish to make a donation in Mary’s name. Arrangements were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory. Thoughts and condolences may be sent to Mary’s family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. |
