On July 7 2013 God called Eunice E. Collins home. Eunice was born in Cullman Alabama November 16 1933 to John A. Collins and Lillie V. Collins. Eunice attended the Akron Public Schools graduating from Garfield H.S. (1952). He studied his craft at the Southern School of Printing Nashville Tennessee. His vocation as a Compositer brought Eunice to the Akron Beacon Journal where he was employed from 1952 until retirement in January 1990. In his father's tradition he became interested in Masonry joining Coventry Lodge #665. Viewing masonry as a guide to enriching his life his deep love of the fraternity led him to research and subsequently document the history of Freemasonry. His literary work authored by Eunice has been published and is currently housed in the A.A.S.R. Masonic Museum Library in Lexington Massachusetts. As a young man he served as an officer in Temple Chapter Demolay; later as a W.M. Coventry Lodge #665; member Supreme Council; Commander-in-Chief Valley of Akron A.A.S.R.; R.P. Amaranth Akron Court; supporter of the A.A.S.R. Learning Center for Dyslexia; a strong voice for the Alzheimer facility under construction at Western Reserve Masonic Community.
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 7 Eunice dedicated his life to the pursuit of finding a cure for this debilitating disease. Believing that a cure must be found in his lifetime Eunice spent endless hours in collaboration with medical researchers at the local state and international levels. When he was not engaged in medical research Eunice enjoyed golf woodworking and traveling. Of great importance and a real blessing to Eunice was his church Akron Baptist Temple where he was a member over 70 years. Eunice will be deeply missed by his wife Bonnie L. Collins who ardently shared his breath of vision.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Hummel Funeral Home 3475 Copley Rd. Interment at Greenlawn Memorial Park.
