Paige E. Collins
Paige Elizabeth Palladino Collins, 55, of West Chester, PA passed away on Saturday, February 21st, 2026 surrounded by her loved ones.
Paige was born July 19, 1970 at Sacred Heart Hospital Delaware County. She graduated from William Tennent High School in 1988 and received her Bachelor of Science from Temple University in 1992. Paige then went on to pursue a successful career in accounting working for Kurt Schneider Accountant, Chase Bank, Siemens, and Eye Physicians and Surgeons, P.A..
Paige was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and an aunt. She is survived by Joseph, father to daughter Callie and son Max, parents Joseph and Arlene, sister Dara (Brian) and aunt to Destiny and Skye.
Paige was one of the most beautiful people and souls to grace this earth. She made everyone she met feel loved and wanted. So many felt compelled to call her “mom” because that is who she was, first and foremost: a mother. She held her arms open to everyone, completely selfless, almost to a fault. Her absence will leave a large void in this world and in the hearts of many.
Paige was very creative. She used her mind to enrich the lives of others. For Callie and Max growing up that meant inventing new ways of interacting with their environment, whether it was turning the house into a small town to ride their scooters through or creating an elaborate treasure hunt to live out their National Treasure dreams, Paige made it fun.
Whatever the event Paige also had a dessert ready winning the hearts of many with her bread pudding, the decorating of cakes and cookies and her chocolate-covered pretzel trays for dear friends.
Nothing compared to Paige’s craft skill, however. There was seldom a medium she couldn’t meet with raw talent. A natural-born artist, Paige dabbled in everything from painting and crocheting to jewelry making.
In her private life, Paige was an avid podcast listener and writer, deep in the worlds of law, economics, and politics. Unbeknownst to many, she was highly acclaimed in her community and successfully took down many high-profile scam artists on the social media scene. Had Paige had the chance to recover from her veritable disease, she would have liked to pursue forensic accounting to combine her love of investigation, justice and money.
Paige is already deeply missed by many, MANY people whose lives she touched. She wanted everyone to be happy and fill their lives with joy. That was her one and only wish. She will be remembered for her jubilance and generosity!

Paige, It is hard to come up with just one memory. I felt that you were such a big part of my life when I was very young. Jennifer and I were always so happy when we got to see and spend time with you and Dara. If we were together we were always doing something fun. Here are just a few of the memories that flood me when I think of you: *Diving for pennies and spending the whole day at Aquatic Swim Club during the summer. *Bunk bed olympics! I believe it was during the summer olympic games in 1984. We decided to have our own olympic games on your bunk beds. We did flips and tricks that surely would have won us the gold if this were an actual olympic sport... Sadly it was not. *Pretending we were pop-stars in the basement of my house lip syncing and dancing. We definitely had star potential. *Playing "Make me laugh" in your grandmother's house in Morton. We were hysterical! *Playing at the playground near your home in Folcroft, Pa with the very old and ganky slide and merry go round. Man, that slide was dangerous but we loved it and had so much fun! I could go on and on because there are a lot of wonderful memories of you. You were always so kind, caring, sweet, and funny. I remember you would always hang out with me when Jenn and Dara were tired of being saddled with me as I was the youngest of the group and clearly not that much fun to be around. You always made me feel included. I know you are reunited with your loving family members that have gone before you and I hope that you reunited with Jennifer too. Lots of love, Holly

Aunt Paige is the most beautiful, caring woman I have ever met. My favorite memories were going over for thanksgiving knowing we were going to have the best food and some of the best desserts I’ve ever ate. She has a beautiful soul and will truly be missed. My heart is broken.
