Norma Joyce Collins, 81, of Fruitland Park, FL, took her last breath and entered into eternal life with her Heavenly Father, Wednesday May, 31, 2017.
“I want happiness. I do not want tears of sadness. I have been blessed & have lived a good life.” She did not leave behind a large estate, a mansion, triple digit bank account or even a vehicle for that matter. What she did leave however, was much more valuable than any monetary item ever could be. She leaves a legacy of cherished memories from the very beginning to her very last breath. These memories include irreplaceable moments & times through the years with family and friends… and a story book ending to how, “Cancer did NOT beat her.”
She was an amazing, kind and humble mother whose passion was cooking and “feeding others”, a stranger to none. All who met her, fell in love with her beautiful spirit. She leaves behind two daughters, Desiree Michele Collins and Nicole Marie Todd, son-in-law Cori S. Todd, son, Paul Collins; Two grand-daughters, Alexis Marie Todd Humphreys and Cameryn Leigh Todd, a grandson Caleb Douglas Collins, Valley, AL; two, great-grandchildren, Madelyn Rose and Grady Conrad Humphreys; a sister, Sara Steele of Georgia; other loved ones and “adopted children.” She had many!!!
Please join us in remembering her, at a memorial service to be held on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at Heritage Community Church in Fruitland Park. Followed by, “The biggest, best and happiest Celebration of Life ever”, as requested by Norma Joyce herself. The celebration will be held at a separate location from memorial service, so please contact Nicole Todd for more information if planning to attend the celebration, separate from the service.
