Longtime Bath Truck Driver Heidi Collins Dies at 70

Heidi A. Collins, 70, of Bath, passed away on Friday, December 12, 2025. Born April 6, 1955, in Bath, Collins spent much of her working life behind the wheel, including employment with M. W. Sewall and later as a driver for Shaw’s in Bath. Her work connected her to the everyday flow of goods that sustain local businesses and households, making her a familiar presence around town.

Collins is survived by her husband, Tim Herald of Bath, and her daughter, April Morton of Woolwich. Her obituary also lists siblings, a granddaughter, and several great grandchildren among her survivors. The family has indicated there will be no services. The funeral home is accepting condolences and can provide additional details for those who wish to express sympathy.

For residents seeking a way to honor Collins, the family has suggested memorial contributions to the Bath Area Food Bank. That recommendation reflects both Collins’s ties to local retail and the continuing needs of Sagadahoc County households during the winter months. Contributions to food assistance organizations have immediate community impact, supporting distribution networks that serve seniors, families, and others facing food insecurity.

Collins’s career at M. W. Sewall and at Shaw’s placed her within the local logistics and retail sectors that shape Bath’s economy. Drivers and other logistics workers play a critical role in keeping shelves stocked and supporting local commerce. Her passing highlights the often unseen labor that underpins daily life in the county.

Neighbors and former coworkers who wish to extend condolences can contact the funeral home for information. Memorial donations to the Bath Area Food Bank offer a practical alternative to traditional gatherings, and provide a way for the community to mark Collins’s passing while supporting local residents in need.
