Elizabeth Genevieve Bringgold Collins passed away peacefully Monday, October 21, 2013, at St. Marys Hospital. The funeral service will be at

Beth was born June 26, 1915, the daughter of Floyd and Hazel (Mosher) Bringgold. She grew up on the family farm which was located
3.5 miles west of Pine Island in the community of Pumpkin Hollow. She attended the Pumpkin Hollow Country School (one-room schoolhouse) through the eighth grade. At the age of 14, she moved into Pine Island to live with her Grandma Bringgold so she could attend high school. She was united in marriage to Ardon Collins on September 7, 1935. The couple farmed in Pine Island. She was a homemaker and was actively involved in the Rebekah Lodge.
Beth enjoyed cooking, sewing, quilting, gardening, knitting, and playing board games. Her role as mother, grandmother, great-grandmother,
great-great-grandmother and family matriarch is her greatest legacy.
Beth is survived by a son, Gary (Marilyn) Collins; four grandchildren, Debbie, Jeff (Kathy), Becky, and Nancy (Tom); eight great-grandchildren, Jordan (Carrie), Lyndsie, Madelyn, Tony (Kayla), Mary (Tony), Max, Sam,
and Margaret; four great-great-grandchildren, Madisyn, Tony, James, and Karsen. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ardon; three brothers, Lyle, Leslie, and Wayne; one sister, Adeline; a son, Blake (Suzanne) Collins; and many nieces and nephews.
The family prefers memorials to Pine Haven Care Center or Bethany United Methodist Church, 1835 19th Avenue N.W., Rochester, MN 55901.
Blessed be her memory.
