Doris was born in England, fifth child to Edward Collins and Edith Collins. Her sisters Lilly, Nell, Edith, Cathy, Patricia, and her bothers Edward, William and Terry.

Dolly was a kind, loving and caring person, who devoted her days to her family. Her four grandchildren and great grandson were her greatest pleasures. Dolly and her beloved husband Bob met after a movie with Bob looking dashing in his army uniform. They fell in love going on to spend 67 years together.

Dolly a strong vibrant woman who overcame many challenges having lived through the war and experiencing various health issues from early childhood and into her later years. She had a love for music in her early teens playing accordion moving onto the piano. Dolly was always the life and soul of the party. Dolly and Bob had a way of bringing everyone together. They would often sing duet’s at all the family celebrations while Dolly played the piano. She often frequented the local markets with her best friends Mary, Shirley and her sister-in-law Winnie on Saturday mornings. Her Sundays were spent making a traditional roast dinner for her family.

One of her other passions was bingo night. She also had a love for animals. All our family pets were spoiled by her as she slipped food under the table. She couldn’t walk by a homeless person without opening her wallet to share what she had, which in her early years was not a lot. It was in her nature to be very giving with no expectation of receiving anything in return. Dolly moved to Canada to spend her retirement with her family. She spent many summers at the family cottage with all four grandchildren, cooking, cleaning, and out on the boat with Bob.

Dolly was always at her best when she was with her family. She will be remembered and in our hearts forever.
