Betty S. Collins

Betty S. Collins, 88, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, April 13, 2024. She was born January 19, 1936, on the family farm, near Marion, Kentucky, to Jewell and Marjorie (Guess) Strong. Her family moved to Evansville when she was a child, and she lived there until getting married and having children, after which she and her family moved to Kokomo where she spent the remainder of her life.

Betty was a member of Westside Baptist Church and a devoted Christian who found salvation at an early age at a revival and never lost her passion for sharing the Gospel with anyone she met. She genuinely liked people and was active in church work and teaching Sunday School for many years. She loved entertaining family and friends and was an excellent cook and hostess. She was also an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two sisters, Joyce Norman and Jane Gibbs.

She is survived by her husband, Raymond Collins; children, Kevin (Jo Ann) Collins and Kay (Brian) Hughes; and several nieces.

Private graveside services will take place in Albright Cemetery. Arrangements have been entrusted to Shirley & Stout Funeral Home in Kokomo. Messages of condolence may be left online at www.shirleyandstout.com.
