**Obituary for Deborah Marie Collins** It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Deborah Marie Collins, who left us on October 14, 2025, in Houston, TX. Born on February 17, 1961, in Sun Valley, CA, Deborah led a life filled with love, laughter, and inspiration, touching the hearts of everyone she encountered. Deborah was a devoted mother to her son, Thomas Collins, and a cherished grandmother to her granddaughter, Adelyn Collins. She also shared a special bond with her sister, Anna Wilkinson, with whom she created countless memories, including adventures that spanned the globe. Deborah's travels were always accompanied by her infectious laughter and the stories she loved to share, weaving tales of joy and experience that captivated her friends and family. For over 20 years, Deborah excelled as an insurance agent, demonstrating her unwavering dedication and commitment to her clients. Her professional accomplishments were matched only by her personal traits; she was kind, generous, funny, loyal, considerate, and honest. Deborah had a wonderful ability to brighten the lives of those around her, whether cheering for the Astros while listening to her favorite country music or hosting gatherings filled with warmth and love. Deborah was a passionate believer, often finding strength in her faith, which served as a guiding light throughout her life. Her love for God amplified her kindness and generosity, encouraging everyone around her to live with the same spirit of giving. As we mourn her passing, we celebrate the remarkable life she led-a life filled with laughter, storytelling, and a deep love for her family and friends. Deborah's legacy will forever inspire those who knew her to embrace love and kindness in their own lives. We invite all who knew her to join us in celebrating Deborah's life in the coming weeks, with a date and time to be determined. Family and friends are encouraged to share their heartfelt condolences or favorite stories that capture the essence of Deborah. May her memory be a blessing, and may we continue to honor her spirit by living life with the same joy and generosity she exemplified every day.
