Laura Jean Collins, born under the crisp skies of Denver, Colorado on November 8, 1967, left this earth unexpectedly and peacefully on the evening of April 6, 2026, in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Her departure was sudden, yet serene, leaving behind a profound silence where her vibrant presence once blossomed.

Laura's journey through life was marked by vivid chapters—each etched with the fierce love and undeniable spirit she carried. Her story was intertwined with both joy and sorrow, shaped by the bonds she forged and the memories she carved deep into the hearts of those who knew her.

She is survived by those who now carry her memory forward: her devoted husband, John Reddick, whose steadfast love was a beacon through life’s complexities. Her twin daughters, Amber Collins and BreAnna Skinner, who bring light and laughter that forever echo their mother’s grace and strength. Together, they hold the legacy of Laura’s enduring warmth and fierce devotion.

Yet, shadows linger in the spaces where those loved have gone before her. The silent absence of her first husband, Edward Collins; her son, Edward Taze Collins; her brother, Chuck Teeples; her sister, Victoria Crossair; as well as her beloved mother and father. Each left a unique imprint on Laura’s heart, shaping the woman who now leaves behind a tapestry rich with love and loss.

Laura’s passage from this world leaves a tapestry of remembrance woven with evocativeness and reverence. Her life was a blend of tenderness and tenacity, a narrative that lingers in the whisper of the wind across Wyoming’s plains and in the quiet reflections of those who cherished her.

Though she has departed physically, Laura Jean Collins remains embedded in the essence of her family’s lives and the cherished memories that will continue to unfold through generations. The story of her life, both poignant and powerful, invites us to remember not just the ending, but the beauty and depth of the journey she traveled so profoundly.
