Rev. Milly Collins With great sadness and many precious memories, the family of Milly Collins announces her passing on February 23, 2011, in Livonia, Michigan. Milly was a devoted and vivacious wife, mother and grandmother who warmed hearts and enriched lives. She gained international renown for decades of service as a religious teacher, author, composer and minister for the Unity School of Christianity.
