Patricia Irene Martin (Collins)
1951-2020
Patricia Marie Martin
(Collins), affectionately known as « Teecie », crossed over to
Eternal Love surrounded by her husband, son, daughter and sisters on
Thursday, August 13, 2020. Born and raised in Harbour Grace,
Newfoundland, she was the daughter of John Collins and Irene Collins
(Sullivan). Teecie was an extraordinary person – a loving
wife, a caring mother, a cherished sister, and a best friend to
many.
Patricia will be missed by her
husband, John, her son, Christopher, daughter-in-law, Vanessa, her
daughter, Melanie, and also by her grandson, Charlie and
granddaughter, Lauren. She will be missed by her sisters, Regina
McLean and husband Harry, Maureen Callahan and husband Jim, and Donna
Hall and husband Greg and brother, Patrick Collins and wife
Shirley. She will also be missed by her many nieces and
nephews, Bradley, Jeff, Amy, Jennifer, Gillian and
Jonathan.
Teecie’s commitment
to her Faith was absolute and unshakable and gave her strength all her
life and especially during her illnesses over the last few years. Her
resilience was a gift to others, and it has inspired the many people
who were lucky to be a part of her life. She had a boundless love for
other people. Everyone who knew Teecie admired her – and
could count on her – as a friend and gifted listener. It was
impossible for Teecie to attend an event or travel to a new place
without making new connections, to lend a listening ear, and expand
her circle of friends. Teecie lived her life in a way that stands as a
powerful lesson: that a life lived with an open heart can only be a
good one. She will be deeply missed by
many.
She and her best friend,
husband John, were inseparable and shared a love that grew endlessly
as they continued to fall in love with each over their 47 years
together.
There will be a private
gathering for family and friends at her home in Moncton, New
Brunswick. Funeral to follow in Harbour Grace,
Newfoundland.
