Lacey was born on September 11, 1981, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, to Thomas “Tom” and Carole (Feister) Collins.
She was never one to blend into the background. Lacey had a way of creating laughter from silence and was known for her incredibly unique sense of humor. Whether she was sharing a perfectly timed joke or another funny voice, Lacey kept those around her laughing and loving.
Lacey found beauty and escape in many forms, making her a true artist at heart. She could often be found with her nose in a book, lost in a sketchpad bringing her imagination to life, or immersed in the stories of her favorite movies and shows. Her creativity was matched only by her profound kindness toward animals; she possessed a massive heart for all creatures, great and small.
Her presence was a gift to those who knew her, and her one-of-a-kind energy will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and the many pets she loved throughout her life.
Survivors include her parents, Thomas and Carole (Feister) Collins; siblings, Kimberly Emmerich, LeAnne Skavdahl, Laurie Robles, and Micheal Collins; children, Bailee Moore, and Philip and Keaton Body; grandchildren, Dakota and Brixlee; special friend, Michael Richter; and fur-babies, Squirrel, Ivy, and Kinkerton.
