Shirley Anne Collier

September 16, 1951 — July 21, 2022

Troy- Shirley Anne Collier, 70, died July 21, 2022, at her home surrounded by loving family.
Shirley Anne Collier was born on September 16, 1951, where she was born to the late John T. Collier and Mary Dolan, a construction business owner and homemaker.

She was a loving mother, daughter, grandmother, and friend to all that knew her. She loved listening to music and dancing the night away. She loved dressing up and had a keen sense of style. She loved reading and was an avid poet. Any given opportunity, she was a social butterfly and enjoyed sipping tea with her friends and family. On occasion, she could found testing her luck with those slot machines! Her smile would light up any room, and her laughter was infectious. She cherished going to church to celebrate Holy Mass with daughter. She loved to travel, especially cruising with her family and long-term partner Angel Herpin. Shirley also had a love for any four-legged animal, especially her dogs Cozy and Fiona. While being a stay-at-home mom, she dedicated her life to her children. In her later years, she was more than happy to be the central figure in the lives of her grandchildren and Godchild.

She was immersed in her Catholic faith and embraced Jesus as her savior in her youth.
Shirley Anne Collier is survived by her partner, Angel Herpin; children Tammy M. Forster (James), Daniel F. Lamphere Jr., Jason C. Lamphere, and Kenneth Pignone Jr.; her grandchildren, Kiersten Carcia (James), Sierra Forster (Anthony), Madison Lamphere, Aiden Forster, Phoenix Lamphere, Osiris Lamphere, Ryland Lamphere; and her Godchild, Cathy Reyes.

Shirley will forever be in our hearts. She was loved by many and will be missed by all.
