Courtlande Terrance Collins

Abbeville—A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church honoring the life of Courtlande Terrance Collins, 67, who died Saturday, September 19, 2020 at Abbeville General Hospital.  He will be laid to rest at St. Paul Cemetery with Fr. Daniel Picard officiating the services.

Courtlande was a very loving, compassionate, and giving man who cared more about others than himself. He was the kind of person who never met a stranger—he always treated everybody like a best friend.   He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Diane P. Collins; son, Courtlande Collins, Jr. of Lake Charles; Corlandra Thibodeaux of Abbeville; three grandchildren; mother, Agnes Goodwin Collins of Lake Charles; two brothers, Larry Collins and Troye Collins both of Lake Charles; and sister, Gabrielle Sonnier of Lake Charles.

He was preceded in death by his father, Moses Collins; and sister, Sheila Ozane; paternal grandparents, Woodman Collins Sr. and Regina Collins; and maternal grandparents, Hebert and Stella Goodwin.

The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Abbeville, 209 S. St. Charles St., on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM with a rosary being prayed at 7:00 PM; Wednesday, September 23, 2020 from 8:00 AM until 9:45 AM when the procession will depart for the church.
