In Memory of

Janet Johnson Collins

Passed away 2018

Janet Johnson Collins attended Valley High School in Albuquerque, NM.

Class of 1970
Date of Passing Jan 27, 2018
Janet married Michael Collins in 1972 and together they had 3 beautiful daughters. At the age of 55 she was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy, much like ALS. Though heartbroken at this terminal diagnosis, she and Mike built their dream house on the Conejos River near Alamosa Colorado. She was eventually unable to live at home and enjoy the birds and fish that she so loved. She passed away always hoping a cure would be found. It was a hard and sad battle but she accepted it with courage even when she could no longer speak or eat on her own. She will be so missed by her children and the grandchildren she will never know.

I knew Janet well at Valley High School. She was very smart, had a great sense of humor, high moral character, I always respected her and enjoyed sharing ideas with her.

So very sorry for her and her family. She made a difference. God bless Janet
