Danielle Collins

On June 17, 2024, Danielle Collins, loving mother, daughter, sister and friend, gained her angel wings at the young age of 40.
Born on August 13, 1983, in Statesboro, Georgia, to Doug Collins and Patrice Rogers, Danielle grew up as the eldest of four children.
She was passionate about her life, adventures, animals and most importantly her family.
Danielle's passions and hard work took her in many different directions in her life from cheerleading, taekwondo, hunting and lifeguarding in her younger years, to her careers in accounting and law enforcement.
Her biggest passion, though, was her children and her family. She loved them above all.
She always looked forward to our annual family vacations each year so that she could spend time with everyone. She always jumped right in with the chaos of the children and was more than willing to help out wherever she was needed.
She brought a lot of joy to her family with her kindness and fierce heart.
Danielle graduated from Statesboro High School in 2001 and went on to pursue her education at Georgia Southern University, where she earned her bachelor's degree in accounting with a minor in fraud.
She started out working with her father at his accounting firm, but began to explore more adventurous avenues, including law enforcement, before settling back into accounting with her beloved family.
She is survived by her children, Morgan and Collin Donaldson; father, Doug (Nancy) Collins; mother, Patrice Rogers; sister, Carly (Tyler) Deal; brother, Doug (Sidney) Collins; sister, Catherine (James) Lee; aunt, Sunni Moore; aunt, Sharron Thackston; aunt, Susan (Steve) Simpson; uncle, Russ (Cathy) Rogers; uncle, David Collins; many nieces, nephews and other beloved family members.
The service was held at Joiner-Anderson Funeral Home on Thursday, June 20, 2024.
Visitation began at 10 a.m. and the funeral followed at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Ricky Allen officiating. Interment was at Eastside Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Fixing the Boro, due to her love for her animals.
