Victoria May Collins passed away peacefully, in the presence of loved ones, on October 24, 2019. She is survived by her four children (Sandra, Brenda, Barbara, and Mark), six grandchildren (Daniel, Lara, Jennifer, Stephanie, Ryan, and Sarah), and 12 great-grandchildren (Marcus, Amelia, Anthony, Alyiah, Aaron, Mavis, Taylor, Benny, Brayden, Kayla, Liliana, and Mason). Born to Ernest and Jessie Burton on May 23, 1926, “Vicky” was the beloved sister of Lloyd, Harold (“Bud”), Gordon, Ernest, Jack, Norman, and Norma. As a woman of faith, Vicky was a devoted member and secretary of Richmond Hill Baptist Church for many years. Her work career began as a teenager in factories during World War 2; then she worked at Eaton’s as a customer service office clerk. Her hobbies of knitting and crochet enabled her to make many clothing items for countless people over the years. Vicky’s kindness, patience, sense of humour, and positive outlook endeared her to family, friends, and acquaintances. Her courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease revealed a rare and inspiring determination to make the most of life by helping those around her. Victoria would want you, dear reader, to know a promise that sustained her, particularly through her last challenging years: “We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident…and would prefer to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:7-8) In Victoria's memory, the family welcomes donations to The Parkinson's Foundation in lieu of flowers.
