It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Stanley Collins of Hare Bay on January 26th, 2020 after a short, but courageous battle with cancer. With family by his side he passed away peacefully at St. Clare’s Hospital, St. John’s at the age of 71.
Stanley is predeceased by his son Andrew (Andy), parents William (Bill) & Emma, Father and Mother in law Thomas and Bridget Kelly, brothers Allan and Herman, and sister Betty Hillier. He leaves to mourn his devoted, loving wife of 45 years Anne Collins, sons Herman (Lori) Collins of Hare Bay, Kirk (Tammy) Collins of Hare Bay, daughters Bridget (Neal) Hunt of Hare Bay, and Amanda (Noel) Oram of Hare Bay, his Grandchildren Tyrone, Kurtis, Kameron, Allison, Andrew, William, Alex, Aaron, and Benjamin. He also leaves to mourn sisters Rose (Walt) Keats of Hare Bay, Maggie (George) White of Gander, Esther (Clarence) Vivian of Hare Bay, Trixie (Jim) McDonald of Gander, Patsy (Corwin) Marks of Brooks, Alberta, brother-in-law Bert Hillier of Ming’s Bight, and a very large circle of extended family and friends.
Stan was a quiet and gentle man with a heart of gold who’s greatest blessing was his family. He was a loving Husband and Father and a hands on Poppy. He enjoyed attending activities with his Grandchildren. He was an active Lions member for 25 years and thoroughly enjoyed his meetings, rarely missing one during his service with the club. His greatest passions were sawing logs on his sawmill, fishing, reading, going to the cabin, watching Coronation Street with his wife, playing darts and cards, and talking on the phone. He was happiest on Sundays when all his family gathered around for Sunday Dinner.
On his behalf, the family would like to thank his family doctor, Dr. Govender, and the Doctors and Nurses on 6 East at St. Clare’s Hospital.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
