Shelia Von Collier Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Sheila Von Feemster Collier was born in Courtland, Alabama on a sultry July day in 1946 and died on a beautiful fall day in November 2017. She was the daughter of John W. Feemster and Imogene Buchanan Paseur. Sheila’s father was in the military, and she lived and traveled to many states as well as overseas. While her father was stationed in Germany, she met the love of her life, Lloyd Morgan Collier, Jr. Lloyd and Sheila were married in August of 1963 in Munich Germany. The first of 3 children, a daughter, arrived in Munich Germany. After returning to the states, Lloyd and Sheila welcomed another daughter in Birmingham, Alabama and a son in Wise, Virginia. Sheila was an avid reader and loved her flower gardens. As time progressed, she became a passionate sports fan. One of her favorite teams became the Georgia Bulldogs because she “just loved Uga” which was unheard of for an Alabama girl. Sheila loved watching Wheel of Fortune and would always guess the puzzles before the contestants. Lloyd and Sheila normally spent Wednesdays at Captain D’s so she could just run into the store “for a few things”, meaning lots of things. Sheila became very proficient in the operation of the motorized shopping carts and was a joy to try and catch. Sheila will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She was an excellent hostess and could cook some of the best homemade meals. She always had an exceptional dinner waiting when the children would get home from school and would bake enough of the most delicious cookies, candies, and cakes for Christmas that would be frozen and enjoyed for months afterwards. There was no shortage of creativity and decorating style either. Sheila could sew the most beautiful clothes, curtains, and pillows which she garnered so much enjoyment from creating for her children and grandchildren. She loved visiting the antique stores and gathering just the right items for her various collections or for refurbishment. Left behind to carry on Sheila’s legacy: her beloved husband of 54 years, Lloyd, and their three children: Dawn (Jerry Meade), Kimra (Rick Mullins) and Morgan, their spouses, 8 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Life service will be held Friday, November 17, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. in the Mullins Funeral Home Chapel. In lieu of flowers, Sheila would want you to plant flowers in your garden, or take you and your family out to a movie, a concert or a nice meal because family is what life is all about.
