Jane Moses Collins 66 Robert Moses' Daughter
A memorial service is being planned for Jane Moses Collins, 66, the daughter of builder Robert Moses.
Mrs. Collins died of natural causes early Monday at the Little Flower Residence in Babylon.
Mrs. Collins lived at the adult residence for two years according to her friend of 50 years, Susanna Lawrence of Babylon.
Lawrence said that she met Jane Moses as a teenager when the Moses family lived in New York City and spent summers in Babylon.
Lawrence said that Mrs. Collins liked to sail on the Great South Bay and was a member of the Narrasketuck Yacht Club in Amityville.
She was born in New York City on April 29, 1918.
Her father who died in 1981 at the age of 92 was credited with major highway and park construction in New York State during a 60-year career.
His other daughter is also deceased.
For the past 24 years since a divorce from Frederic Collins, Mrs. Collins lived in Babylon. She had attended secretarial school and worked briefly in the early '60s.
Her son Christopher was killed in a car accident 10 years ago.
Survivors include a daughter Caroline Hunt of Charleston, S.C., and two grandchildren. The Frederick J. Chapey Funeral Home said that a private cremation was held yesterday. A memorial service is tentatively planned for Friday but no definite arrangements had been made yesterday
