Martha "Faye" Boggs Collins

Martha "Faye" Boggs Collins, born on December 25, 1961, in Harlan, Kentucky, passed away on May 17, 2025, at the Harlan Appalachian Regional Hospital. 

Faye was a proud mother and grandmother whose love for her family was evident in everything she did. She is survived by her devoted husband of 39 years, Elvis Collins; her daughters, Brittany Pace and her husband Randy, Whitney Caldwell and her husband Tim, and Kaylin Williams and her husband Scott; as well as her grandchildren, Brianna Williams, Scott Williams, Weston Williams, Amelia Faye Williams, Maliyah Smith, Jamisyn Caldwell, River Caldwell, and Phoenix Caldwell. She also leaves behind her brother, Lonnie Boggs; sisters, Jan Collett and Connie Cornett; lifelong friends, Trina Cornett and Candi Herren; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends who will all miss her dearly.

Faye was not only deeply connected to her family but also sustained a vibrant personal life. An avid fan of the University of Kentucky basketball team, she brought the same passion and enthusiasm to her love of playing online word games and enjoyed playing softball in her younger days. Her love for fishing added a special joy to her life, creating lasting memories with friends and family and as a lover of all books she spent countless hours lost in their pages.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Marcus and Mae Boggs, and her sisters, Saundra Gail Boggs, Billie Rae Boggs, and Patricia Mullins. Their memories live on through the stories and moments she shared with them.

In celebrating the life of Martha "Faye" Boggs Collins, we remember her dedication to her family, her love for sports, and the laughter she brought into our lives. She touched many hearts and will always be fondly remembered by those who had the privilege to know her.
