Laurie A. Collins, nee Lind, passed away on Saturday, April 15, 2023. She was born in Oshkosh on April 14, 1962, the daughter of Kenneth and Dixie (Domke) Lind. Laurie enjoyed her time camping with family. She loved animals and children. She also loved her Pepsi and never went anywhere without it-even to bed. Laurie will be remembered for always being there to help others with her kind heart, and giving personality.

Laurie is survived by her father, Ken; sisters: Peggy (Allan) Sheets, Sherry Lind and Tammy (Lee) Coffen; brother, Troy (Carla Anderson) Lind; also many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and many extended family members that she remained close with. She was preceded in death by her mother, Dixie; grandparents: Norma "Granny" and Bill Domke, and Ida and Herbert Lind; nephew, Christopher Sheets; many aunts and uncles; and former spouses: John Collins and Russell Orley.

It was Laurie's wish to be cremated with a celebration of life at a later date.

The family extends a special thank you to Ascension Mercy Hospital for the love and compassion shown by the I.C.U.
