Obituary of Katherine Collins Call

Katherine “Katie” Collins Call, 45, beloved mother, wife, daughter & sister, entered her heavenly home on Thursday, February 15, 2024. She was born in Columbia, SC on November 7, 1978 to Harry James Collins III and Robin Wright Collins.

She was a graduate of Dreher High School and NC State University, where she was an honor student. Upon graduating, she began teaching in Raleigh, NC and when she returned home to Columbia. Katie had an absolute love for children and her true passion in life was seen when she was teaching, and there is no doubt that her students prospered from her dedication and guidance. Katie, like her grandfather, Poppy, never knew a stranger. Her smile and laugh would light up a room. And, like her beloved Poppy, her spirit and love for the Lord was evident in her life. She dedicated her life to the Lord as a youth and served the Lord at Christ’s Sanctified Holy Church, where she was a Sunday School Teacher.

She married Bryan Phillip Call, of Charleston, SC, on April 9, 2011 in Columbia. They welcomed the joy of their life, Harrison James Call, on December 9, 2014. Katie was the most nurturing, attentive, and loving mom to her beloved Harrison. Harrison was a long-awaited blessing and she thoroughly enjoyed life with her beautiful son. Harrison is carrying on the tradition started by his great-grandfather and mother for he has a kind and loving spirit.

She is survived by her husband, Bryan Call from Lexington, SC and their son, Harrison Call. Also, her parents, Harry and Robin Collins of Lexington, SC, one brother, Will (and wife Laura) Collins of Lexington, SC; one sister Stacey (and husband Daniel) Paysinger of West Columbia, SC and a special aunt Doris (and husband Wayne) Martin of Irmo, SC; nephew Davis Collins and niece Drayton Collins. She was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents Harry “Poppy” and Dot Collins, of Columbia, SC; and William and Matilda Wright, of Augusta, GA.
