The obituary notice of Marion COLLINS (Holt)

I will always appreciate the warmth and kindness that Marion showed me from the age of around 11, welcoming me into her family as Jon's friend. She put up with me and Jon playing very loud music, guitars and singing (or trying to haha) all the way through our teens and into our twenties. I have nothing but lovely memories of her and will always be grateful to her.

Am so going to miss you Marion. I've been thinking back on all those adventures together as kids, growing up as youngsters in Tottington, alongside big sister Anne and mum and dad! And as you grew up I always respected your love of family and nature. I also need to thank you for being a good aunty to Andrew and Diane, and sister-in-law to Ian. Rest in peace dear sister. Love, Jean

Thank you for all the laughter and kindness you showed me. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and accepting me, hugs and all. Thank you for all you taught me. And thank you for Jon.
I’ll miss your wit and stories.

Love always
Lisa

An independent, brave lady whose witty humour endured until the end.

Greatly missed by us all

Will miss you (Aunty) Marion. Thinking back on all those great family events over the years, and will always remember our regular coach trips up to Bury where we'd meet up and have a good family lunch and catch up, and we'd usually follow that up with a stroll round the market. Good memories! Rest in peace Marion, love, Andrew (nephew).

She will be missed. Always a great supporter of my endeavours, Events in Haslingdon Accrington, and Bacup where we had a drum circle of over 40!!

What times we had drumming, clogging together at events.

I never knew how she regail me to here son and daughter, but deep down she loved it and we loved the sharp interaction, and everything she brought to the circle, including the Jazzy Knitwear.
