Frances Davis Collins

She was one terrific lady who has gone to be with her Savior for all eternity. She led a wonderful life and would do anything to help someone. She was in the Navy and christened a ship. She enjoyed art and working crossword puzzles. She also had an intense love for animals, especially cats!

She worked at Wiley & Wilson and then at Lynchburg Gas Company for many years.

She was a member of Northminster Presbyterian Church.

She is survived by her two sons, John Forrest Collins and Richard Stewart Collins; a niece, Laura Hoffman and husband Paul; a nephew, Richard Ricketts; and many friends.
