Stephanie Michele Collins

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Stephanie Michele Collins, who departed this life on Christmas Eve morning, December 24, 2025, rejoining her cherished mother, Shelia Marie Collins, in eternal rest. Born on June 14, 1977, Stephanie courageously lived with cerebral palsy, a condition that profoundly influenced her life's path. Stephanie is preceded in death by her grandparents, Bill and Kathryne Collins; Bobby and Kathy Harris; and her beloved aunt, Billie (Hehe) Collins. She is survived by her father, Maxcy Ben Collins; her aunt D (Donna Kindon); her uncles, Jimmy Kindon and Bobby Harris; her aunt, Carolyn; and numerous extended family members, including Chris (Olen) and Missy Kindon, Jimmy (James) and Nikki Kindon, Lauren Christopherson, and Joseph Harris, along with their children.

Stephanie was a 1996 graduate of Central Gwinnett High School. Throughout her life, she consistently brought joy, laughter, and love to those around her. Stephanie delighted in singing and watching her favorite television programs, as well as spending quality time with her loved ones and her fur baby, Angel. Stephanie cultivated enduring friendships and made a concerted effort to call family and friends on birthdays and special occasions, conveying her genuine affection. Her life was defined by the values of family, friendship, and love, and her kindness extended beyond her immediate family to those who cared for her, notably Nadia Cajuste and Katy Kubisiak. While her presence will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in the knowledge that she has found peace and reunited with her mother.

The viewing is Sunday January 4, 2026 5-7pm EST and Stephanie’s memorial service will be held on Monday, January 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EST at Wages and Son Funeral Home-Lawrenceville, GA. and officiated by Pastor Kevin Myers of 12-Stone Church, Lawrenceville, GA.
