In Loving Memory of Coti Collins

Coti Collins was a well loved entertainer out of Raleigh, North Carolina and was perhaps best known for her impersonation of Reba McIntire. Coti even opened for Reba during some of her tours.

Coti Collins got her Ohio connection when she became a Entertainer of the Year (bar title) at Celebrity’s in Dayton, Ohio. This qualified her to become a cast member at the bar.

We sadly lost Coti on November 14th, 2022.
