Here's the information posted on his second wife's memorial. She died in 2008 and is buried in the same cemetery: "Yippie" Avice Maye Collins, 94 of Argyle, passed away Saturday, June 28, 2008 at Rambling Oaks Courtyard Extensive Care Community in Highland Village. Yippie, daughter of Claude L. Hollandsworth and Mary Naomi Bell Hollandsworth, was born in Cooke County, Texas on September 5, 1913. She resided in Lake Dallas most of her life before moving to Lake Kiowa in 1977. Yippie moved to Argyle in April of 1998. Yippie married Louis R. Gross on October 15, 1934. Louis preceded her in death in August of 1969. She then married James H. Collins in 1973, who also preceded her in death in 1978. She is survived by her daughter, Kitna Armstrong and husband, Reese, of Grapevine; her son Greg Gross and wife, Barbara , of Argyle; her grandchildren Kelly Holcombe, Camron Gross, Nathan Way, James Cue and Jenifer Alyazdi; great-grandchildren, Ben Holcombe, Sarah and Zach Alyazdi. She is preceded in death by her parents and three sisters, Ruby Howard, Grace Riley, Jewel Cochran and two brothers, C.L. Hollandsworth, and James Hollandsworth. Arrangements were handled by the DeBerry Funeral Directors in Denton, with services held at Argyle United Methodist Church. Perhaps someone at the church, funeral home, or hospital will know how to get in touch with a family member. Good luck, Barbara ________________________________ From: Gil Allison <aronos@sbcglobal.net> To: collins@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 8:58 PM Subject: [COLLINS] WW II Dog Tags James H Collins Denton TX I am trying to help someone in Italy find family of James H Collins, born 10-2-1914 and died Nov 1978.
