Mrs. Krista LeAnn MacMichael, 66, passed away Thursday (October 30, 2025) at her residence in Waycross following an extended illness.
She was born in Brunswick, GA, to the late James Earl Vinson and Dorice Vinson. A graduate of Brunswick High School, Krista was formerly employed with Publix and Walmart. Above all, she loved her family deeply and always put their needs before her own. She will be remembered as a devoted mother, sister, and grandmother-simply a wonderful "Nana."
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a son, Joshua Bridges Collins.
Survivors include two children, Lindsay Collins of Blackshear and Caleb MacMichael of Waycross; five grandchildren, Harmoni Collins, Aadyn Finch, Victoria Murphy, Jason Phillips, and Georgia MacMichael; a brother, Richard Vinson of Brunswick; a sister, Kathy Hill of Brunswick; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorialization will be by cremation.
