Helen was a wonderful caring mom who raised her two children on her own. She was extremely proud of her children. Nana's grandchildren meant the world to her and she loved them dearly. She was always there to cheer them on at a dance competition for Caitlyn or one of many sporting events for Cameron. She was their biggest fan. Family ties will always be treasured.

Neimeier; sisters, Marty (Joe) Guyder and Shirley (Ron) DiFulio; several nieces and nephews and special friends, Rita and Jack Martin. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the nursing staff on 1-8 of St. Joseph’s Hospital for the care they gave to Mrs. Collins. Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 10:30 am at St. Rose of Lima Church, 409 South Main Street, North Syracuse followed by placement in the columbarium of North Syracuse Cemetery.
