Collins, Amy "Beulah"
COLLINS, Amy Beulah (nee Diamond) – Passed peacefully away at home, on Wednesday, June 16, 2004, Amy Beulah Collins, aged 75. Predeceased by her parents, Amelia Nina (Clarke) and Frederick William Diamond. Left to mourn with fond and loving memories and thanking God for her life are her husband of 54 years, Duke Collins; her children Judi (Eric) Barter (Old Perlican), Bill (Marilyn) Collins (Paradise), Marilyn Pilkington (Kanata, ON), and John (Darlene) Collins (St. John’s); grandchildren James (Wilhelmina) Barter, Danielle Collins, Mark Barter, Adam Pilkington, Heather Collins, Andrew Collins, Alex Pilkington, and Gregory Collins; sister Marie (the late Norman) Porter (Mississauga, ON) and brother Lawrence (Phyllis) Diamond (St. John’s), as well as sisters-in-law Pamela Brann (Ajax, ON) and June Collins (St. John’s) and brother-in-law, Barrie Collins (Oshawa, ON); numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. “Gramo” will also be sorely missed by her fierce protector and companion, Sparkie. Beulah dedicated her life to service to others – to her family, her church, her community at large. She was a loyal member of Kiwanis of Grenfell and served as President from 2002 to 2003. She was also a long-standing member and Regent of Sir Wilfred Grenfell IODE, National Councillor for Eastern Newfoundland, and a Past President of the Executive Council of the Provincial Chapter. She also served the St. Clare’s Hospital Auxiliary in several capacities, including President. Her leadership and commitment to all organizations was given with conviction of the value of their impact on society. To those who knew Beulah, there is no doubt that she has fulfilled what God asks of each of us. She has lived justly, she has been constant in love, and she has walked humbly with her God (Michah ch 6 v 8). Resting at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road. Visitation Thursday and Friday from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Funeral service to take place on Saturday, June 19 at 2:00 p.m. from Cowan Heights United Church, Frecker Drive.
