On August 14, 2020 our Lord and Savior called home his servant, Milton Collins, Sr. Milton answered the call surrounded by family and love ones at his residence in Abbeville, Louisiana. Milton was born in Vermilion Parish to the late Thomas Collins and Celestine Plowden on September 22, 1936.
As a young man, Milton worked as a Master Refrigerator Technician for John Thibeaux, and drove trucks for Production Welding. He is most known by many as the owner of The Ponderosa Lounge. Through hard work and perseverance, Milton managed the club the nearly 50 years. In his spare time, Milton enjoyed sports, playing cards, listening to music, and being around his family.
Milton leaves to mourn his death, his former wife, Ms. Audrey Broussard, three sons Milton Collins, Jr., Wade Collins, and Winfred Collins all of Abbeville, Louisiana; three step-daughters Stephanie Boudreaux of Maurice, Louisiana, Lisa Murad (Rasheed), and Phyllis Catalon (Sherman), both of Dallas, Texas. Milton also leaves behind seven grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews whom he adored.
Milton was preceded in death by his parents, three sisters Rose Mae, Lutha Mae, and Willia Mae. Four brothers Fredman, Edward, Earlest, and Earnest Collins and a very special lifetime friend, Mae Belle Wilturner.
