She was active in Catholic charities in the District of Columbia for the past 30 years and had been a social worker with the National Catholic Welfare Council. The Rev. Leo J. Coady, director of Catholic Charities for the Archdiocese of the District said she had spent the past 30 years of her life helping to relieve the suffering and pain of others, especially the aged. He stated, it can truly be said that she was a modern St. Vincent De Paul.

She died at age 59 on Monday, August 3, 1953 at the home of her sister, Mrs. Margaret MacDonald. She had been shopping for clothes to wear to a White House reception for her brother, Army Chief of Staff General J. Lawton Collins who was to be presented with the Distinguished Service Cross on Wednesday, August 5. While driving to her home at 3604 Macomb Street Northwest she suffered a heart attack.

Collins of Montgomery, Alabama and three sisters: Mrs. Margaret MacDonald of Yuma Street and Agnes Collins and Mrs. Allen L. Vories of the Macomb Street address. The Most Rev. Patrick J. O’Boyle, Archbishop of the District, presided at the requiem mass at the Church of the Annunciation which was attended by many dignitaries of the church and the public. The church is located at Massachusetts Avenue and Thirty-ninth Street. Interment was at Oak Hill Cemetery.
