Roma Gail (Waldroup) Collins

     Roma Gail Collins, 83, of the East Buffalo Community in Robbinsville, NC went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Monday, September 8th, 2025 surrounded by her family.

     Roma Gail was a lifelong native of Graham County, born on February 14th, 1942 to the late Forrest Waldroup and the late Velma Orr Waldroup Stafford.

     Roma Gail, a member of Lone Oak Baptist Church, loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and even in her sickness she asked everyone she came in contact with, “Do you know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?”

     A favorite past-time of Roma Gail was to read, especially her Bible. She was a hardworking, honest woman. No work was too big or too small or even too difficult. She was a jack of all trades, home-maker, seamstress, saleswoman, plumber, mechanic, electrician, carpenter, road engineer, only to name a few.

     The only thing she loved more on this side of Heaven than working was her family and spending time with them. She loved doing things for her family and others.

     Roma Gail was married to her loving husband of 66 years, James ("Jimmy") Darrell Collins. Jimmy and Roma Gail were dedicated to one another and their family everyday. She was a mother to four children, Sherry Williams(Dirk Cody), the late Darrell Collins(Sallie), Susie Beasley(Tim), and Bo Collins(Missy). Roma Gail had 9 Grandchildren, Tara Rogers(Cale), Kaleb Williams, Ryan Beasley(Shenna), Krystina Ford(Drew), Jessica McGuire(Wayne), Lindsay Jenkins(Coty), Chantal Matheson(Skylar), Tyler Beasley(Katie), and BJ Collins. She had 22 Great-Grandchildren, Kate and Will Rogers, Cutler, Case, Tripp, and Buck Beasley, Reagan Ditmore, Hollis and Alden Ford, Carter and Ella McGuire, the late Jace Jenkins, Sophia, Isabelle, and Briar Jenkins, Berkley Matheson, Ophelia, Osi, Brayson, and Bennett Beasley, Ollie Blevins, the late Addison Beasley, and Two Great-Great Grandchildren Wylee and Krew Beasley. Her siblings were Leonard Waldroup(Sue), the late Joe Waldroup(Sis), Teresa Brown(David), and Vickie Jordan(Terry).

     Funeral Services will be held at 1:00 pm Friday, September 12, 2025 at Lone Oak Baptist Church.  Reverend Scott Roper and Lance Burke will officiate.  Burial will follow at Lone Oak Baptist Church Cemetery.  The family will receive friends from 11:00 am till 1:00 pm at the church prior to the service.
