Paul E. Collins

Paul Collins passed away on August 22, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio at the age of 72. Paul was born on March 20, 1951 to Robert and Ruth (Hoskins) Collins. He had 4 sisters and 1 brother. He married Betty Cresie and raised three sons. After Betty's death, he married Priscilla Barnett and they were together for 32 years. Paul graciously accepted and became a father figure to Priscilla's 2 daughters. In total he had 13 grandchildren and 4 Great-Grandchildren.

Paul loved fishing, camping, bowling, volunteering at his church, mastering his carpentry skills and playing games with family and friends. He worked as a truck driver for Nutone and Smuckers for over 30 years.

Paul would spend time volunteering for a handful of organizations, including the New Life Worship Center Church of God. Paul truly believed in community, and service to that community along with connecting to others through time well spent. He believed our world could be improved if everyone simply dedicated a little bit of their time towards the common good.

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8
