Obituary Overview
Jean Collins
Jean’s final road trip concluded on August 6, 2018. Jean’s friends and family were well aware of her aversion to driving. She much preferred to let someone else chauffeur her to the agreed destination. However on the road trip called cancer, she successfully took the steering wheel and challenged the many detours and navigated the hairpin turns she encountered along the way. Without a road map (or GPS), she was guided and supported by her family and friends who were always on call to make the pit stops and necessary tune ups easier. The eldest of twin girls, Jean was born to Morley and Marie Collins on April 29, 1961. She was predeceased by her mother in 2012 and is survived by her father, his wife Joyce and six siblings – Joan Collins, Kathy Cameron, Tom (Debbie) Collins, Eileen Schmidt (Fraser Downie), Jack Collins and Paul (Carla) Collins. She is also survived by 10 nieces and nephews – Ryan Collins (Heather Lochart), Amanda (Destin) Ash, Laura (Darren) Slugoski, Jalene (Dustyn) Jepson, Lisa Schmidt (Brett Spies), Clayton Schmidt, Michaela and Shaun Cameron, Ashley and Colby Collins, as well as 10 great nieces and nephews – Kade, Emily, Hunter, Liam, Rowan, Finley, Zoey, Sawyer, Alexis and Lincoln – two aunts, Adrienne Corkery and Joan Collins, plus many cousins. Jean attended the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatoon Business College. Her career as an administrative and communications professional began with the non-profits: The Partnership and Saskatchewan Abilities Council before she joined the federal public service in 1999, working for Western Economic Diversification Canada and then Canada Correction Services. Jean’s family would like to express their gratitude and appreciation to all the doctors, nurses and staff of St. Paul’s Hospital and RUH, but especially Nicole and Dena for their extra personal care and support, as well as to Home Care, Prairie Hospice and the ladies at Nordon Medical. We extend a special thanks to Myrna and the Keedwell Care Home staff. Jean truly enjoyed her time there and they made her feel safe, secure and cared for.
