Margaret Ellen Collins Weeks of Mountain Home, Arkansas, passed away December 23, 2022, in Mountain Home, Arkansas at the age of 80. She was born January 15, 1942, in San Francisco, California, the daughter of Wayne and Thelma Garrison Collins. She married William on August 17, 1968, in Denver, Colorado.
Margaret is survived by her husband, William Weeks, of Mountain Home, AR; children, Lisel (Robert) Ulaszek of St. Charles, IL, Christopher (Lynette) Weeks of Greensboro, NC, and Tara (Kaoru) Boohar of Bath, NY; grandchildren, Zoe and Oliver Ulaszek; and brother, Wayne Merrill Collins of Berkeley, CA.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
University-educated in Colorado, she taught biology there and in western New York, but her greatest, most joyful work was raising her children. In Mountain Home from 2000, she was an outreach educator for Serenity Inc., enjoyed working with ESL/Citizenship students at Twin Lakes Literacy, volunteered at the library, and contributed in many ways to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church whose community helped sustain her.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring.
