Alma Collins Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Faye was a courageous God-fearing woman that wanted to speak the Lord's word wherever she was. She liked to teach anyone that entered her life about Jesus and the great blessings of Jesus Christ. She enjoyed playing her piano and guitar and singing in church and also for her family at home. She always looked forward to family reunions and holidays to get together with her loved ones. She absolutely loved smiling and laughing with her friends and family. Now she is smiling down from Heaven. She is loved so very much and will be greatly missed.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James R. Collins; son, Vincent Neal King; sisters, Ella Mae Muse Loyd, Lucine Stringfield, Stella Branim, Willa Jean Shown, Melba Shannon, and Joyce Black; and brother, Robert Muse.
Faye is survived by her daughters, Teresa Pitts, Linda King, Vickey Loudermilk; sons, Thomas King, Frank King, and Matthew King; sister, Pauline Shannon; brother, Andy Muse Jr.; 14 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; many other relatives and friends.
