Obituary for Staretta Collier (Collier)
Staretta Gerona Collier, affectionately known as “Star” was born on April 12, 1966, in Jacksonville, Florida, to the late Donald Jerome and Doris Loretta Collier. She was a gradate of Robert E. Lee High School, Class of 1984. She continued her education receiving a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Edward Waters University. Staretta worked as an educator for many years until her health began to fail.
She obeyed the gospel of Christ at the Westside Church of Christ under the leadership of the late Minister Walter Cox Jr.
Staretta had many obstacles placed before her due to her failing health, but she had tremendous faith in God that never wavered. Even though she knew her life was ending, she talked about God and was ready to receive her robe and crown from the Great Redeemer, the Almighty God. She loved her family dearly and her daughter, Schuyler, was her pride and joy.
Staretta will forever live in our hearts. We will always love and miss you and your sense of humor. “Star” you may now Rest in Peace.
