It is with profound sadness that the family of, Lily Margaret Collins (nee Wilkins) of Hare Bay, announce her sudden passing on the 5th of December 2021, at the age of 69.
She leaves to mourn her devoted husband of 53 years, Gordon, adoring sons Vance (Sonya) and Shane (Tammy), and her two loving granddaughters, Shyanne (Ryan) and Jessalyn. We are so blessed to have been left with so many wonderful memories of her, and her girls will forever cherish their beloved Nanny and the special moments they shared with her. Also left to grieve is an extensive circle of close family and friends who will miss her dearly. Lily is predeceased by parents Caleb (of Hare Bay) and Catherine (of Scotland).
Lily worked in schools for many years as a student assistant and thoroughly enjoyed working with children. She was very outgoing; she was very involved with Home League and volunteered with several other community organizations. She loved giving to others in any way that she could and always applied her motto, “any job worth doing, is worth doing well.”
Our hearts are shattered. We will miss your smile, the light in your eyes, the songs you sang, your sense of humour, and the ability to laugh at yourself. We don’t know how to navigate this world without you. It will be a long process to learn. You will be loved and missed more than words can ever express.
The love her family held for her is immeasurable, but the love that she returned was unforgettable.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association of Canada or The Canadian Cancer society.
