Bianca Delyn Collins graced us with her presence on Sunday, August 23, 1953. She was the 9th of 11 children born to Walter and Anna Collins, along with two bonus siblings. She attended Samuel Otts Elementary and graduated from Hughes High School in 1971. From there, she continued her education at Cincinnati Technical College, where she trained as a computer technician.

Bianca accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at an early age and was baptized at Bethel Baptist Church. She was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, and friend to all who crossed her path. Her heart and her kitchen were always open to anyone in need.

Bianca was blessed to share a loving relationship with Leo Guilford for much of her life. Though they had no children together, Bianca had three daughters—Kofia, Jennifer, and Aimee—whom they both loved and supported wholeheartedly.

Being a mother and "Mammaw" was one of Bianca's greatest joys. She loved cooking, decorating for every holiday, and planning family gatherings. She made it a point to show up for her loved ones, showering them with love and kindness whenever she could.

Bianca was a devoted member of First Baptist Church of Hazelwood for over 20 years. She served as a Sunday School teacher and frequently attended Bible Study, demonstrating her deep faith and commitment to Christ. She was a sweet, loving, gentle soul with a smile that could light up any room.

Bianca retired as a manager from White Castle after 18 years of service, during which she called off only twice. She received several awards for her outstanding attendance and exceptional customer service.

Affectionately known as "Miss B," Bianca was a well-loved figure in the Fields Ertel Townhomes community, where she lived for over 30 years. She served on the resident council and helped bring essential services like cable and bus access to the area. She was a true community staple—whether you needed a babysitter, a warm meal, or a safe place to rest, her door was always open.

Bianca welcomed everyone—by blood or by love. She made you feel like family, and her love was always sincere and deeply felt.

Bianca unexpectedly departed this life on April 24, 2025, at 1:44 a.m. She now rejoices among the 144,000 angels. She was preceded in death by both of her parents, most of her siblings (with the exception of her only surviving sister, Alona Collins), her beloved Leo Guilford, and her great-granddaughter, Destiny-Assiyah Delyn Collins.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory: Her three daughters: Kofia, Jennifer, and Aimee; Son-in-law: Richard Coleman; Ten grandchildren: Blessed-Kiarra, Tru-Destiny, Amiyah, Zyaira, Richard Jr., Madison, Paige, Phoenyx Reign, Malichi, and honorable mention, Jernie Smith and Nola Mae Turney; Two great-grandsons: Kingsley Messiah and Legacy Desiah; Two best friends: Sharon Anderson and Jeffery Dick.

Visitation is from 10:00 am until 11:00 am, on  Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the Bethel Baptist Church, 2712 Alms Place, Cincinnati  (45206).   The funeral service will immediately follow the visitation beginning at 11:00 am.
