Sharon Denise (Monica) Collins, 72, of Prince Frederick passed away June 5, 2026. She was raised in Montgomery County and graduated from Albert Einstein High School. She married Gary William Collins, and they eventually settled in Prince Frederick where they have lived for many years. Sharon deeply loved spending time with her family and dedicated much of their free time to boating. This shared passion for the water allowed them to build a large, lifelong circle of friends. Before her retirement, Sharon worked in the dentistry field. Her ultimate pride and joy were her family, which grew to include children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Sharon is survived by her husband Gary Collins, children Bill Collins and his wife Launa of Tierra Verde, FL and Kelly Collins of Prince Frederick, grandchildren Austin Collins and his wife Heather of Kent Island and Alyssa Barry and her husband Travis of Huntingtown, and great-grandchildren Wyatt, Ridge, and AJ. She was preceded in death by her son Bryan Collins and brothers Donald and Larry Monica.

Its so hard to believe that you are gone.
You were a good friend. I will miss having you around the Westlake neiborhood.
Im forever grateful for the few minutes I spent with you when you were leaving for the hospital. I got to kiss you goodbye, you told me you loved me. I had no idea you wouldn’t be coming back.
We will never forget you and will miss you terribly.
Rest easy my dear friend.♡♡♡

Deepest sympathy to Sharon’s family and friends.
“Sharona” and I worked together for many years.
On some long hard days we would just look at each other and say “Well, at least we have each other”
Sharon will forever remain in my heart and memories
Rest in peace dear friend.
Love “your Annie”💕
