Anne Collins Mackey

Dead at 38

Anne Clark Collins Mackey, 38, a native of Houma and resident of
Jackson, Miss., died Saturday after a long illness.

She was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. S. Clark Collins of Houma.

Educated at Terrebonne High School, Mrs. Mackey went on to receive her
bachelor's degree in education from Newcomb College. During her college
years, she also attended Nicholls State University.

Upon graduating from Newcomb, she taught handicapped and exceptional
children in one of the first special education programs within the New
Orleans public school system.

In 1972 she married Oscar Mackey, a Jackson, Miss., lawyer, and moved to
Jackson. There she taught kindergarten and also concentrated on helping
handicapped students within the regular school system. She also bore two
children, a boy and a girl.

"People were her hobby," said her mother. "She did a lot of things,
horseback riding, camp work in North Carolina. She loved Houma and had a
lot of good friends here."

Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Mackey are incomplete as of press time.

The funeral will probably be Monday in Houma, depending on whether
relatives can make appropriate travel arrangements. Chauvin Funeral Home
Inc. of Houma is handling the arrangements.

Burial will be in Magnolia Cemetery.

Survivors include her husband, Oscar Mackey of Jackson, Miss.; her
parents, Dr. and Mrs. S. Clark Collins of Houma; one son, Clark Mackey;
one daughter, Suzanne Mackey; one brother, Dr. Robert Walter Collins of
Tampa, Fla.; and one sister, Martha Collins Johnson of Winnetka, Ill.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. R.W. Collins
and Mr. and Mrs. R.H. Turner of McComb, Miss.
