Joyce Norma Lee Collins-Wilson, 69 of Shreveport, Louisiana passed away Saturday, December 9, 2017 at home surrounded by her family.

The daughter of Normal and Pauline (Baker) Collins was born June 21, 1948 at Red Rock, Arkansas in Newton County. She grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, graduating high school and began a 36 year long career with Western Electric (AT&T) that continued with her move to Shreveport, Louisiana until her retirement in 2002.

She was a Christian and had a strong work ethic that was passed down from her parents, beginning in high school, working part time. Her family was her life, and she was devoted to her children and grandchildren, taking care of everyone's needs ahead of her own. She enjoyed literature and sewing, but cooking was her passion. She also enjoyed time spent with her grandson and best friend, James.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two sisters, Jackie Collins and Beverly Barnard.
