With heartfelt sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, wife, sister and daughter, Darlene "Dar" Collins-Brewer. 

Predeceased by her father, Peter Collins. 

Leaving to mourn, her devoted husband of 26 years, Bob; children, Jessica, Heather (Brad) and Brandon (Samantha); and two grandchildren, Jacob and Benton, who were the absolute light of her life. Also leaving her Mother, Isabel Collins, five older brothers and an extended family of cousins and friends. 

To know Dar was to love her. She wanted nothing more than a good tune, a cold beer (frozen, at that) and a laugh! She always looked forward to spending Sunday with her brother Peter, listening to their favourite songs on bust and raising a glass. 

She was nothing short of an amazing mother and wife. Always making sure her kids and husband had everything they could possibly need and were loved to no end. Consistently putting them before herself. She would move mountains for her grandsons and never hesitate to do so. 

Thank you to the nursing staff at Carbonear Hospital who went above and beyond their call of duty for Dar over the past few months. Your kindness and compassion will never be forgotten. 

We will miss her dearly.
