Collins, Mary A.
Mary A. Collins 1924 ~ 2004  Mary A. Collins fled the prison of Alzheimer's
disease Dec. 16, 2004. She's now celebrating the birth of her Savior with Him
and with her beloved husband Frank, who died in 1994. She was born Nov. 22,
1924 in Teton, Idaho, to Amos and Agnes Siddoway, a late-life miracle who
continued to delight and surprise for 80 years. Born blind, she never let
anyone determine her limitations. And despite the ravages of her disease, she
never lost her sense of humor. Her life was truly a celebration. She played
piano and violin, once performing with David Rubinoff. She attended public
schools when it was unheard of for someone with a "disability." She and Frank,
also blind, raised four children and then she babysat her grandchildren.
Throughout their 43 year marriage, she managed his piano tuning and repair
career, making his appointments, keeping the books and paying the bills.
Before the marriage, she was a secretary for the Presbyterian church in Idaho
Falls. She also received a diploma in massage and physiotherapy. Mostly, she
was a great mom and grandma, then a great great-grandma. In 1998 Oprah Winfrey
featured her as "not your typical mother" on a Mother's Day special. She never
knew a stranger and touched a lot of lives, often counseling parents who
feared for the future of their blind children and helping adults who were
newly blind adapt. "They can do anything that's important to them," she'd say.
A devoted Christian, she played piano every Sunday. She loved to do ceramics  
and the results were always beautiful. She knitted lovely afghans for friends
and family. And she was just the person you'd seek out if you needed a
comforting shoulder, a listening ear, or just a good friend. She left a trail
of friends around the country. Mary is survived by her children: David F.
Collins, Nampa, Idaho; M. Kathleen "Kathy" Vaux (Richard), Ogden, Utah;
Kenneth D. Collins (Susan), Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Lois M. Collins (Beaux
Kyle), Salt Lake City, Utah. She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren and 10
great-grandchildren she adored. The family would like to thank the staff at
Manor Care and Hospice of Utah for the love they gave Mary. She was so easy to
love. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, Dec. 21, 3:30 p.m. at Leavitt's
Chapel of Flowers, 836 36th Street in Ogden.

fellow associates. They traveled to Europe, one of the first to travel to
China, and an excursion to Japan. John became a Saturday night figure at JP's
after the death of his wife. He loved to dance and did so right up to the time
of his accident. John Birkland, who also lost his wife recently, he and John
had known each other for several years, becoming very close. John used to take
him for a ride almost every day and on occasion they would ride the Trax
system together. John always saw to it that Dad was taken home after his son
dropped him off at the curb. John is preceded in death by his wife, Dorathea,
his daughter, Carol Jean Pearce, his grandson, Evan Pearce, and his

was born November 2, 1979, in Provo, Utah, the daughter of Martin Edward and
Camille Weight Powell, of Springville, Utah, one of the four greatest joys of
their lives. Kerri began her school years at Oakridge School in Provo, and in
1989 she moved to the neighborhood Grant Elementary School. She was a member
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served as a visiting
teacher. Kerri loved people, and introduced us to hundreds of "grandparents";
Tigger; Sam's Club chocolate chocolate chip muffins; anything bright orange;
her bedroom and waterbed; watching and quoting her 70-plus videos (she knew
all the dialog of most of them); a wide range of music; travel; and especially
her family. Kerri was a delight to all who met her. She was a great hugger,
always happy and cheerful. She expressed herself well, and was quite capable
of letting her preferences be known! She was very independent, and had a
strong will and great determination.  We became concerned about her health on
November 24, and on December 1 during exploratory surgery it was discovered
she had colon cancer. Through her father's blessing following her surgery, and
the multitude of thoughts and prayers of family and friends throughout the
World, Kerri was comfortable and pain free during her final days. Kerri is
survived by her parents; sisters Jennalyn and Jacqelyn; grandmother Pat
Warren, Mt. View, California; aunts and uncles, Myrna Lee (Dean) Tew,

preceded in death by her brother Martin B. Powell, grandparents Nolan and
Aileen Vane Weight, and other loved ones who were the beneficiaries of her
great joy, love and new found ability to truly express herself. Special thanks
is expressed to all who loved and supported Kerri and her family through this
difficult time, with special thanks to Sharlee, Jill and Shiloh; Dr. Marcia
Litzinger, neurologist and friend; and VistaCare Hospice, which allowed Kerri
to part comfortably, peacefully, and at home. Funeral services will be held on
