Frances Collins

I had the privilege of getting to know Frances Collins during the years she shared a home with my aunt in University Park. She was a beautiful soul and a very interesting and interested conversationalist. I am sorry to hear of her passing and I will always remember her fondly.

I enjoyed coming into the DMA to volunteer and being greeted by Frances. What a role model she was. I have missed her smiles and warm greetings.

Frances was a lively, intelligent person with great dignity. As a long time docent and DMA volunteer, I worked with Frances for many years. She knew my daughter, Catherine, as well and encouraged her when she began volunteering as a teenager. Literally, thousands of volunteers and visitors had a more meaningful experience at the DMA because Frances engaged and charmed them. I thank her family for sharing her with all of us.

I am so sorry to learn of Frances Collin's death. She was one of my biggest cheerleaders and I adored her. My introduction to Frances was in the 1980s when I assumed the management of D-Art Visual Arts Center. Frances was probably the most loyal and dependable volunteer I've ever encountered. When she began volunteering regularly at the DMA, I'd never make a visit there without making having a chat with Frances a "must do" before I left. She always lifted my spirits because I figured that if...

I worked with Frances at the DMA ; her intelligence and generosity were always an inspiration .

Saddened to hear of Ms. Frances passing. She was a wonderful person, and feel blessed to have known her. My condolences to the family, may she rest in peace.

My condolences to the Collins family and friends

Frances was a beautiful and vibrant soul I had the pleasure to work with at the Dallas Museum of Art. May her memory live on in all she touched.
Condolences to the family and loved ones.
