Sandra Ann Collins

Sandra Ann Collins, a woman of strength and grace, passed away on March 14, 2024. Born and raised in Providence, RI, Sandra's journey began on January 1, 1945. She was the beloved daughter of the late Joseph and Sarah Holland, and the youngest among twelve siblings, all of whom have preceded her in death.
 
 Sandra's life was marked by service and dedication. She honorably served in The United States Army before embracing the role of a devoted Army wife to her beloved husband, Ernest. Their love was a beacon of light that now shines eternally as they are reunited once more.
 
 Family held the utmost importance in Sandra's heart. Her culinary skills were renowned, and her delicious cooking brought joy to all who were fortunate enough to taste her creations. Sandra's legacy lives on through her daughters, Tracy Russell (Michael) and Sandra Diane Rector; her grandchildren, Gary, Jake, Jared, Chelsea, Austin, Bailey, and McKenzie; as well as her sixteen great-grandchildren.
 
 In every dish she cooked and every moment she shared with loved ones, Sandra's love and warmth radiated brightly. Her memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A Private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
