~ ~ A Memorial ~ ~
We had a memorial for Mom at the Fairbanks Pioneer's Home on
November 14, 2015. More than 100 people came. Many
shared stories about Mom and how they enjoyed and appreciated
her. It was a moving time for all of us.

Mom wrote a
chapter in
Collins
Family History 1740 to 1977. We hope you enjoy it as
much as we did.

her favorite colors.
