Patricia Eileen Collins

Our beloved Patricia Eileen Collins left our world on May 16, 2021.

Pat was born January 28, 1935 in Alta, Iowa to Lael and Gretta Peterson.   She was the oldest of four children.  Pat moved with her family to Alameda, California in 1939.  She graduated from San Francisco State and then served in the USO in Germany.  Pat married James Joseph Collins in 1963 and raised two children.

She was a lover of entertaining and celebrating with her many friends.  She loved to cook, read and talk with her siblings and friends daily.  She will be missed but we know she is with Jim and they are waiting for 5 o’clock somewhere.

Pat is survived by her siblings, Jerry Peterson, James Peterson and Susan Winchester; children, Anthony Collins and Diane Collins;  grandchildren, Amanda Marie, Chase James, Brinley Eileen and Darby Anne Collins and great grandchildren, Macy Collins, Charlie Smith and Josie Smith.

There will be a Memorial Service at 3:00 pm on Monday, May 24, 2021 at Creekwood United Methodist Church, 261 Country Club Road, Allen, Texas 75002.  Florists should deliver to the church.
