Elizabeth Erin Cox Collier

Elizabeth (Cox) Collier passed away Wednesday afternoon, November 16, 2011, at her father's home in Farmington. Throughout life, Liz worked tirelessly to excel at whatever challenge she faced. As a student, Liz would accept nothing but perfection. As an athlete, she would accept nothing but a win. As a teacher, she pushed her students to levels they never thought they would reach. As a mother, she made her son the only priority. As a friend, she gave of herself when no one else would. As a daughter, she fulfilled her parents every hope. As a sister, she offered inspiration and mentorship. Those left in her passing are better for having known her.

Liz is survived by her son, Jackson Collier; her parents, Sterling Wayne Cox and Nancy Cox. Her sister, Nicole Broombaugh; her brothers: Craig Charles, Stephen Cox and Aaron Cox. Her best friend, Laurie Adams and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and friends.
