Doreen Marie Collins

Doreen Marie Collins, age 61, passed away peacefully, September 11, 2018, at her home in Nashua, NH.

She was born June 17, 1957 in Binghamton, NY to beloved parents Garth and Virginia (Bognaski) Collins. She graduated from Suffern High School in Suffern, NY, and then went on to receive her undergraduate degree from Keene State College in New Hampshire.

Doreen worked for many years in the healthcare industry, a skilled sales executive whose expertise was in laying the groundwork for the information systems used in hospitals. Her exceptional ability to connect and relate to others served her well in this role.

Doreen will be remembered by her loved ones for her warmth and generosity. She found her greatest happiness in giving. She had a special gift for making people feel at home and loved to gather her family and friends together. Her second home in North Conway, Mountain House, will always hold a special place in the hearts of her loved ones for the good times shared there. No one could get a table of friends laughing quicker or a couch full of family cozier. She enjoyed bike rides and hiking, and especially loved playing golf. She loved to travel, but loved coming home even more.

Doreen is survived by her cherished partner of 24 years, Judith Airosus, also of Nashua. She is survived by her much loved brothers and sisters, Thomas Collins and wife Barbara, David Collins and wife Donna, Mark Collins and wife Mary, Helen Ware and husband Joe. She also leaves behind many loved members of the Airosus family. Doreen is predeceased by her sisters Linda Maria Collins and Joanne Collins, and her brother Douglas Collins. She is survived by many nieces and nephews, cousins, and dear friends, including Toni Donnelly, her devoted caregiver.
