Paige Audrie Collins

Our precious angel, Paige Audrie Collins, was called home to be with our Lord on March 9, 2004. She departed from this world Tuesday from injuries suffered in an automobile accident near Valley City, ND.

Paige was born in Tianjian, China on March 29, 1998. With great joy, Paul and Nancy Collins became her loving parents in July of 1999. She lived in Jamestown, ND with her family. There and everywhere Paige went she touched many lives. Her infectious Woody Woodpecker laugh put a smile on the face of all that met her. She attended Kids Kingdom Preschool, was member of Daisy Scouts, and danced with Top of the Stairs Dance Studio. Paige loved spending time with her two sisters most.

Paige always gave great joy and love to others, and continues through organ donation. On March 10, 2004, a 46 year old South Dakota man received her kidneys, three babies received valves from her precious heart and two people will soon receive the gift of sight.

Paige is survived by her parents, two sisters, Jade Marie Collins and Erin Anne Collins both of Moorhead, MN; her special big brother; Steve Rosenfeldt of Moorhead; maternal grandmother, Delores Eiler of Fargo; godmother Cindy (Lon) Arnold of Fargo; godfather Paul (Julie) Eiler of Fargo; 18 aunts and uncles; 27 cousins; 7 second cousins and many, many friends.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather Roman H. Eiler, paternal grandparents Harry and Elinor Collins, and cousin Brian E. Erbes.
