Deirdre Marie Chervenka Collins

Deirdre grew up in the Grand Rapids theatre family but their world expanded as their heart filled with love for all those around them. Their energy and passion for the underdog, the disenfranchised, and the abused was amazing to see in action. With broken hearts, we share that our compassionate, empathetic, caring child, Deirdre has died unexpectedly. Deirdre is survived by her parents, Jim and Linda Chervenka and her sisters, Casey, Bridget and Angela (Eric Solai) Chervenka. Also surviving are nephews, Zongidii and Nodin Chervenka and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and numerous friends. Donations in Deirdre's memory may be made to: Cosecha PayPal.me/movimientocosechagr or your favorite Theatre (Civic, Circle, Actors or Jewish) or Arts organization. A celebration of Deirdre’s life will take place at a later date, when we can all gather together safely again.
