Charmaine Collins

It is with a heavy heart that I share the announcement that Charmaine (Waddell) Collins passed away early in the morning on August 19, 2024. She was 58 years old. Charmaine made it clear until the end that she loved her family and would tell them so constantly. She was full of kindness, compassion, and love for all. 

Charmaine was born and raised in Greenock, Scotland where she grew into the woman that would later be known as daughter, sister, aunt, and mother. She was someone who enjoyed spending time with family, friends, and being around those that she loved. She later married and moved across the United States before settling in Buhl, Idaho. After settling there her interests in the arts became more prevalent with her drawings and even had her poetry published. She was dedicated to try to save and document as much of her life and her loved ones in her pictures. 

Charmaine was survived by her three children Thomas McIntyre, Conner Collins, Sarah Collins, her sisters Patti Parker and April Waddell, 10 grandchildren, niece, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother Isabella Waddell, father James Waddell, and brothers James Waddell, William Waddell, Archie Waddell, and baby Mark Waddell, and her sister Theresa Waddell.
