Margaret Christine

Collins

Margaret Christine Collins was born on December 25, 1938, in Baltimore, Maryland, to the late Samuel Collins and Viola Collins. Born and raised in Baltimore, Margaret built a lifetime of memories in the city she called home.

 Margaret was a strong, loving, and unforgettable woman. She was especially known for speaking her mind. If Margaret had something to say, she was going to Say it, and those who knew her understood that her honesty and straightforward personality were simply part of what made Margaret who she was. 

During her working years, Margaret worked for Emily Pricejones. She was also an active member of Greater New Hope Church, where she faithfully participated in the\chureh community until her health began to decline.
Margaret enjoyed the simple things in life that brought her happiness. She loved going to Lexington Market and listening to the gospel music of Shirley Caesar. Those closest to her also knew that some of her favorite treats were a cold pineapple soda, ice cream cake, and a bag of Crunchy Cheetos.

Margaret was the loving mother of Melvin Jordan, Pamela Jordan Griffin, William Collins, Keith Collins, and Brian Collins Sr. She was also blessed with her son-in-law, Bobby, and shared a special relationship with Vaugsella Jordan, her beloved bonus child and granddaughter.

Margaret was one of seven siblings and shared a special bond with her brothers and sisters. She was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel Collins and Viola Collins; her sister, Carina Collins; her brothers, Charles Collins, Veron Collins, Raymond Collins, and Jimmy Collins; and three of her beloved sons, Melvin Jordan, William Collins, and Keith Collins. She leaves behind her loving sister, Ella Davis, to cherish her memory.

On September 24, 2026, Margaret completed her earthly journey at the age of 87. She leaves to cherish her memory her daughter, Pamela Jordan Griffin; her son, Brian Collins Sr.; her son-in-law, Bobby; her bonus child and granddaughter, Vaugsella Jordan; along with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and many loved ones. Her family will forever remember the things that made Margie uniquely her: the trips to Lexington Market, Shirley Caesar playing in the bac prounas er pineapple soda and Crunchy Cheetos, and, most of all, her unmistakable way of speaking exactly what was on her mind.

Margaret Christine Collins leaves behind a lifetime of memories that will continue to be shared from generation to generation. Her presence may no longer be seen, but her voice, her personality, her love, and her legacy will never be forgotten.
