Shirley Collins

Shirley Collins, a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 27th, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Born on October 26th, 1942, she filled her 82 years with love, strength, and a spirit that shined brightest during life’s celebrations.

Shirley’s greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her loving son Joseph and her two granddaughters, Amanda and Alexa, who adored her and will forever cherish the countless memories shared together. She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter Roxanne, whom she cared for with unshakable devotion, providing a safe and nurturing home filled with unconditional love. Her devotion to caring for Roxanne was a powerful testament to the kind of mother she was.

A woman of warmth and resilience, Shirley found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. She took pride in her home in Florida, where she lived for many years, and filled it with beauty, whether through her gardening, her love for decorating, or the way she made the holidays feel magical. She also had a deep love for music, dancing, and good food. She never missed a moment with her family, always present, always involved, always giving of herself.

Those who knew Shirley will remember her as a woman of grace, faith, and determination, whose love left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her family and friends, in the traditions she created, and in the lessons of love and strength she passed down.

The family wishes to thank all who have offered love, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
