      Collins, Stella G. Stella Collins, Kaukauna, passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Tuesday, May 30, 2006, at St. Paul Elder Services. Stella was 90. She joins her beloved husband Bernard whom she married on this very date in 1942. Stella was born in Appleton on December 29, 1915, daughter of the late Anton and Delia (Ross) Hoersch. On May 30, 1942, she married Bernard Collins; he preceded her in death on December 20, 1981. As a young woman, she worked at Irene's Beauty Salon in Appleton and eventually took over the shop.

      Later, the family moved to Kaukauna where Stella owned and operated Stell's Beauty Salon. Her shop was a fixture in Kaukauna for over 20 years. For many additional years, Stella worked as the hairdresser at Fargo Funeral Home, and was always happy to help area families during a difficult time. In addition to being a well-respected beautician, Stella was also an outstanding seamstress, baker, candy maker, and gardener.
