Aug. 2, 1950-Nov. 3, 2021

 

Karen “Sue” Collins of Crawfordsville passed away Wednesday night, Nov. 3, 2021, at home.  She was 71.

Sue worked at Hi-Tek, then owned her own beauty shop, Collins Cuts and Curl, then later was in charge of shipping and receiving at the hospital. She was a member of the Pioneer Tractor Association and liked playing Bingo as well as going on road trips. She loved her family, loved gathering with them, and had a great listening ear. Her talent for crocheting has touched many homes, from slippers, dollies, doll dresses, table coverings and afghans, she left a legacy of love.

Born Aug. 2, 1950, at Crawfordsville, she was the daughter of Alva Grimes and Vivian Caldwell Grimes. She attended Crawfordsville High School. She married Stanley K. Collins on July 6, 1969, at Crawfordsville. He passed away March 19, 2016.

She was preceded in death by husband Stanley; mother Vivian; great-grandson, Knox Fultz; and two sisters, Cheryl Gano and Sharon Baney.

Visitation will be from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday at Burkhart Funeral Home.  Services will begin at 2 p.m., followed by interment at Indian Creek Hill Cemetery.

Sue was an animal lover, so with that in mind, the family asks that you make a donation in her memory to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County, 1104 Big Four Arch Road, Crawfordsville, IN 47933.
