A Life Lived to its Fullest – Rest in Peace

Born in Blind River, ON and lived in Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and Toronto.

Joan Collins, (nee MacGillivray) peacefully crossed the threshold at St. Joseph's Hospital (Toronto) on Thursday, December 15 ^th , 2022 in her 96 ^th year.

Predeceased by husbands Jack Collins and Ronald Warren. Mother of Gordon Collins (Christine) and Janice Collins (Robert). Grandmother of Michael Collins, Thomas Collins, Lucy Collins (Kevin), and Ermiyas Oravec.

Joan was well known for her sense of humour, love of music, and playing duplicate bridge. She had a passion for cooking, baking and entertaining at the drop of a hat – she was the life of the party! She had a zest for life that was expressed in all aspects of her social, spiritual and professional relationships. She thoroughly enjoyed attending services at the Bethel Bible Chapel.  Joan was loved and admired by those close to her and enjoyed deep relationships with many friends and family members throughout the years.

Special thanks to her personal caregiver and friend Carina Ruzol, and to the staff of St Joseph's Hospital Palliative Unit and the Chartwell Grenadier Retirement Residence.

Joan will have a private viewing service with her family and a celebration of life event will be scheduled to take place in Sault Ste. Marie later in the New Year.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to the Alzheimer's Society or the Bethel Bible Chapel in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
