It cannot go without saying what a wonderful daughter, sibling, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother she was. Mrs. Collier worked in the securities industry for 40 years. She also enjoyed family genealogy, cemetery research and sewing baby quilts. She was a strong, kind, hard working woman that was devoted to her family and was always quick to defend them. She always offered a smile and a helping hand and gave to others at times when she didn't have it to give. She was a die-hard Alabama fan. It was all a testament to who she was, and the world was a better place with her in it. 

She is gone but never forgotten and may we all strive to carry these qualities in her honor.
