ISABEL M. COLLINS
SWANTON - Isabel M. Collins, 91, native Vermonter and mother of five, died on Jan. 24, 2005, at her home in Swanton in the care of her youngest daughter, Colleen Collins Mumley. She had been failing since experiencing two strokes last autumn.
Isabel M. Collins was born into the family of Elizabeth and James Collins of North Hero on Jan. 10 in 1914. She married Marvin McBride of South Hero in 1935 and gave birth to her first child, Charlotte, within days of Marvin's death of a systemic infection in a Burlington hospital. She married Lyle A. Collins of St. Albans, a civil engineer, in October 1939. For six years Isabel and Lyle and their expanding family lived in a travel trailer they towed behind a car to engineering projects in New York, Virginia, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. While the family was living in Texas, and she was pregnant for her fourth child, Isabel took flying lessons and obtained her pilot's license. In 1945 Isabel and Lyle returned to Vermont with Charlotte, Michael, Vivian and James and settled permanently in the Maquam farmhouse, where Isabel would give birth to their last child, Colleen.
Isabel was a resourceful, no-nonsense mother who was self-taught in a variety of disciplines such as horticulture and food preservation, tailoring, animal husbandry, and arts and crafts. She cared for the family, house and gardens on her own for periods when Lyle worked engineering jobs in South America and Virginia. Often all of the meats and vegetables as well as the pickles and ketchup at her dinners came from her farm and garden.
Lyle Collins died in 1996 at the Swanton farmhouse. Isabel is survived by a sister, Vida Griswold of Grand Isle; two brothers, Marshall, of Valatie, N.Y. and Patrick of South Hero; five children: Charlotte Engelhard of Stratford, Conn., Michael Collins of Barrington Hills, Ill., Vivian Hays of Bellingham, Wash., James Collins of Brimfield, Mass., and Colleen Mumley of Swanton; and by 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
