Obituary for Sally Ann Collins

Sally Ann Collins, 95, of Rocky Hill, passed away peacefully on May 16, 2022, at Hartford Hospital. She was born on June 2, 1926 in Hartford, CT to the late William and Mary (Griffin) Collins. Sally grew up in Hartford where she attended St. Augustine School and Bulkeley High School. She maintained a life-long membership to the St. Augustine Parish serving as a lector to Mass until just a few years ago. Sally graduated from St. Joseph College in West Hartford with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education and achieved her Masters from University of Hartford. She was a teacher in the Newington school system from the mid 60's until the late 80's. She loved children and loved her time as a teacher. Sally enjoyed bowling, traveling, and watching golf – especially if Tiger was playing. She loved her extended family of nieces, nephews, and their children and kept up with all their activities and visited them throughout the nation.

In addition to her parents, Sally was predeceased by her brothers William and John (Margaret); her sisters Barbara Shirley Forbes and Margaret (Hank) Coffey and a Sister-in-Law Helen Collins. She is survived by her brother Thomas Collins of Mishawaca, IN and her sister-in-law Kathleen Collins of Glastonbury, CT along with many nieces and nephews to mourn her loss. The family would like to thank the staffs at Hartford Hospital, Atria in Rocky Hill and many friends for their continued loving care and support.
