The greatest joy of her life was being a wife and a mother. The family moved to McPherson, Kansas, where she touched many lives, making lifetime friendships. She and Darrell owned a popular donut shop, Carol Lee Donuts, and then later with Darrell, managed Rolling Acres Golf Club.
She enjoyed playing golf and was quite good at it, beating Darrell on several occasions. Vada also enjoyed playing the piano and was involved in many Prayer groups. Vada was known for her great smile and positive attitude on life. She would like her remembrance to be that she was kind to others.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Otis and Onnie Collins as well as her brother, Edgar Collins.

She is survived by her husband, Darrell and son, Ray Wilson, of Kansas City.
