COLLINS, Mabel Lorraine (nee Fry)
Passed in: Ontario, Canada
Passed on: March 5th, 2016

Passed away suddenly but peacefully at Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital in Scarborough, Ontario on Saturday, March 5, 2016, Mabel Lorraine Collins age 71 years; beloved wife of Aubrey Collins, loving mother of Kimberly Berry and her husband Chris (Stouffville), Gary Collins and fiancé Irene, Toronto; loving grandmother of granddaughter, Teagan. Lorraine lived in West Hill, Ontario but was formerly from Shearstown, Newfoundland. Lorraine was predeceased by parents Joseph and Gladys Fry and brother Wallace Fry all of Shearstown. Also left to mourn are brother Lloyd (Debbie) Fry, Cavendish; sisters Cavell Smith, Bay Robert's, Doreen (Roy) Sinyard, Heart's Content, Eva (Bob) Freeman, Shearstown, Linda Fry-Ford, Coley's Point; Special friend and aunt Sandra (Jim) Quinlan, St. George, On; Brothers' -in-law Clem (Sharon) Collins, Roach (Adele) Collins, Doug ( Heidi) Collins; Sister-in-law, Marie (Randy) Harnett, Clarenville.

Lorraine loved to return home to Newfoundland. It was with great anticipation she would meet up with family and friends. She would share stories of years gone by. Lorraine loved to go blueberry picking. She so enjoyed getting her share of trout, eels, and caplin. One event she fully enjoyed was having a "boil-up" at Salmon Cove Sands with all her siblings a couple of years ago. Without a doubt, Lorraine's world revolved around her family whom she loved dearly. Her little granddaughter Teagan brought her much joy over the past ten months. Rest in peace our darling sister. You will forever be missed but, rest assured, you will remain with all our love in our hearts and memories forever.

It is with heavy heart and much regret that my family and I were not to be included in my Dads final days as it may have brought some peace to his family. His passing has left a void that I hope can be filled with love and caring. I'm sure Dad would have wanted it that way. Godspeed RJ "Per Ardua Ad Astra". Your youngest son will miss you.
