Viola Collier (Bea), passed away on March 11, 2025, at Research Belton Hospital surrounded by her loved ones. She was one of eight children born to the union of Columbus and Maebel Osler.

Mrs. Viola Collier graduated from Eastside Menifee High School. She accepted Christ at a young age at Philadelphia Baptist Church. She became a member of Memorial International Church later in life.

Viola gift and talent was being in the medical field as an License Practical Nurse. She found joy and fulfillment in caring for the sick, a passion she pursued until her health declined, leading to her retirement from Saint Luke's Hospital.

Viola's energy was contagious, a force of nature, determined to provide for her kids, giving them the life she felt they deserved. She was the momma who would be in the "trenches" with her kids and go to war behind them. Her kids meant more to her than anything else in the world. When her son Michael passed, it took a toll on her heart, but she was a "fighter" who smiled through sickness, pain, and grief until our Heavenly Father called her home.

She was a God-fearing, loving and giving soul, who enjoyed traveling , going to estate sales, attending noon day bible study, and hanging with her sisters that she loved immensley. She was definitley the "Life" of the party! Everyone loved them some Bea!
