Deirdre Collins-Heinert Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Deirdre Collins-Heinert announce her passing on Friday September 13th, 2024 at the age of 56.
Deirdre was born in Pennsylvania and spent time living in Burlington County, NJ before settling down in Little Egg Harbor, NJ in 2000. As an incredibly intelligent and social woman, Deirdre was successful at many jobs, like being a flight attendant, teacher and pharmacy Tech. However, her proudest and most important role was being a wife, mother and nona to her family.
Deirdre enjoyed spending time on the water, boating and jet skiing, going on mom/daughter dates, reading, writing and especially adored visiting Walt Disney World. But most of all, she loved time spent with her husband, children, grandkids, extended family and close friends. Deirdre will also be warmly remembered by her friends at Calvary Baptist Church, American Legion Post 493, Legion Riders, and Legion Auxiliary.
Deirdre was predeceased by her parents James and Patricia Collins and her beloved son Devon Collins.
She is survived by her loving husband Carl of 23 years, daughter Corinne Heinert of Little Egg Harbor, NJ, daughter Brittany Welsh of Hamilton, NJ, daughter Jamie Armstrong of Barnegat, NJ, sisters Dawn Mullin, Theresa Pshunder and Joanne Collins, grandchildren Lilyana Collins, Adriana Collins, Lily Welsh, Violet Welsh, Logan Armstrong and McKenzie Armstrong and stepbrother Eddie Leslie.
Visitation will be held on Friday September 20th, 2024 from 11am until her Funeral Service beginning at 12pm at Calvary Baptist Church 850 Railroad Dr. Little Egg Harbor, NJ 08087. Burial will follow at 2:30pm in Brigadier General William C. Doyel Veteran Memorial Cemetery, Wrightstown, NJ.
