Our classmate, Patricia Ellen Collins, passed away on Monday, June 24, 2024.  She died of repiratory complications from Parkinson's Disease that had disabled her and had her living in an assisted living facility in Smyrna, Tennessee near her family for the last several years.  Many will remember Pat as the manager of Sally's Gift Shop in Dearborn's Westborn Shopping Center for many years.  Growing up Pat was a neighbor of our classmate, Ben Wojtas, and they later became lifelong friends.  She was a very special person from a very special family, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.  This is her Obituary:
