Betty L. Collins, age 87 of Toledo passed away peacefully on February 23, 2017.

Betty was born in Liberty Center, OH to Benjamin and Lillian (Abrams) Kniss on July 20, 1929.

Betty married the love of her life, Vincent Collins, on July 30, 1960 at Rosary Cathedral. Together, Betty and Vincent raised two children.

Betty was raised in Liberty Center, OH and was the eldest of 4 siblings.

Betty retired from Toledo Hospital after 40 years of service as a Human Resources Administrative Secretary. Throughout her adult life, Betty was devout Catholic and regularly volunteered with Gesu Catholic Church and charitable organizations including Little Sisters of the Poor, Heartbeat, Gesu Boosters, and Fortnightly Book Club, to name a few.

Betty is remembered as a caring Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Friend. Betty loved to spend time with her family. She had a brilliant mind and she remained sharp as a tack throughout life. One of her best qualities was her ability to listen. Betty enjoyed spending time with her friends, talking, listening, and laughing. She often enjoyed solving difficult problems, and her ability for deep thought and prayer enabled her to engage in passionate and thoughtful discussions. She was always an independent woman even in her old age. Betty would always make time for people, and she would never turn away a guest; her door was always open.
