In the afternoon you would always find her watching her soaps and Judge Judy. She loved her grandchildren most of all and they were her main focus in life. As a grandmother and great grandmother, she was hands on,
hands down, sit on the floor and play with dolls or cars with whoever was in her audience. She was a strong hardworking sole whose time came to rest and be reunited with her beloved husband, the late Joseph W. Collier.
