Patricia Marie Kelly Collins

Mrs. Patricia Marie Kelly Collins, 69, of Moreland, passed away Sunday, March 30, 2025, at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.

Mrs. Collins was born June 21, 1955, in Brooklyn, NY, daughter of the late James Francis Kelly and Anne Marie Coviello Kelly. A resident of Georgia since 1980, she served as a full-time teacher for the Coweta County School System and retired from Moreland Elementary School. She served as an area director for Pine Valley Girl Scout Council. She was very active in Christian Education, serving in Vacation Bible Schools and Awana Programs and faithfully served as a member of First Baptist Church of Moreland. She was an avid reader and enjoyed crafts of all kinds. From the early days of her marriage to George, she filled the home with lots of love and cats. She loved cooking for her growing family as she was a devoted grandmother to 12, and her love was evident through her joy in any opportunity to mention them in conversation.

Survivors include her husband, George A. Collins, Jr. of Moreland; daughter, Joan-Marie Patricia Collins Kemp (Daniel) of Newnan; sons, George A. Collins III (Kimberly) of Newnan, James Collins (Ansley) of Senoia, Daniel Collins (Czarina) of Redwood City, CA; sisters, Jeanne Marotta of Gainesville, FL, Cathy Kelly of Hudson, FL; and brother, Donald Kelly of Port Richey, FL.
