In Loving
Memory
Victoria Renee Collins
Victoria Renee Collins was
born Nov 1, 1979 in Portland to
Eddie Collins Jr. and DeEtta Mor-
ris-Collins.
She attended Irvington Elemen-
tary School, Fernwood Middle
School, Benson High School and
Oregon State University majoring
in sociology. An intelligent wom-
an, her parents instilled the impor-
tance of education into her and she
achieved a bachelor’s degree and
two master’s degrees.
She also was a strong indepen-
dent woman who dedicated her
life to others whether it be through
working various places such as
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.;
Irvington Grade school, where
she taught pre-k and kindergarten;
King Elementary School where she
trained and worked with others; and
participation in the State Teachers
Core program. Whatever it was,
when she put her mind to wanting
to do something, she did it.
She was also passionate, dedi-
cated and loyal to her friends and
family. What we loved the most
about her is the love she had for
her family, the same love that em-
braces them now.
Victoria is survived by her par-
ents of Portland; brothers Brian
Collins of Riverside, Calif. and
Edward Mainor of Waco, Texas;
aunts Delores Frazier (Billie) of
Portland, Elaine Gultry of Port-
land, Arthelia Coverson of Fed-
eral Way, Wash., Darlene Barrett
of Seattle, Synetta Morris of Port-
land and Jackie Morris of Sacra-
mento, Calif.
We love and miss you dearly,
our beloved Victoria.
Services will be held Satur-
day, Oct 5 at Emmanuel Temple

Celebration of Life
Jeffery Eric Barabin
A Celebration of Life gathering for Jeffery
Eric Barabin, who was born Feb. 21, 1960
and died Sept. 24, 2019, will be held Friday,
Oct. 11 at 1 p.m. at the Marquis Piedmont, 319
N.E. Russet St.
A jokester who was witty and fun loving,
Jeffery had a way with words and was a fun
person to be around with all his funny stories.
He loved sports and was a New England Pa-
triots fan all the way! He graduated from Jef-
ferson High School in 1978, where he played
football and basketball, and also attended community college in Min-
nesota where he played sports.
The family thanks his nurse and all staff members at the Marquis
Piedmont Assistant Living Center who worked so hard caring for Jef-
fery, and also all those who prayed, called, sent cards and well wishes.

braids or dreadlocks – they all require
no chemicals.” Natural hair care also
includes scalp massage, deep condition-
ing treatment, silk press, curls, crimps,
roller-set, twists and wigs.
Calloway’s mobile salon can go any-
where in the city, whether it’s to a client’s
house or a central location for a special
event. But she’d like to find a permanent
location for her 30-foot van, preferably
on Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Bou-
levard, and then buy a smaller van to go
to customers’ homes and other locations
throughout the city.
She’s licensed in both hair and nails,
and in addition to teaching natural hair
care through her salon, Calloway just
started a job as an instructor at her alma
mater, the Northwest College School of
Beauty in Happy Valley.
“This is new, but I’ve always been an
educator,” she said.
There don’t seem to be any limits to
Calloway’s entrepreneurial spirit, and as
her business grows, she fantasizes about
eventually taking it to a bigger market
area such as Los Angeles, maybe in a
year or so.
“I think it would go over and there
would be higher demand,” she said.”I
was born and raised in Portland and I’m
ready for a change.”
