After a lengthy illness our dearest loved one, Linda Collier Lethridge entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, July 17, 2019 at Henrico Doctors Hospital in Richmond, VA. She was born in Lawrenceville, VA. on September 11, 1959 to the late Isaac Roy Collier and Jean Phyllis Jackson Collier.

In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her brother SGT Roy M. Collier (retired). She was a joyful, loving individual who adored family and friends, music and singing.

Linda was educated in the Petersburg Public School System. She was the youngest of six children and is survived by her daughter, Letisha Lethridge whom she loved dearly; three brothers, Carroll L. Collier (Alice), Charles M. Collier (Annie) both of South Chesterfield as well as Dennis C. Collier (Linda) and a sister SSGT Phyllis E. Collier Green (retired) both of Petersburg, VA.; and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces.

The family wishes to express their sincerest gratitude to the physicians and staff members of the Laurels of University Park for their compassionate care during the extensive span of time Linda spent at their facility.

Linda’s presence will be sorely missed by her family; however, our Almighty Father, in his infinite wisdom recognized her discomfort and realized her plight, therefore, deemed it necessary to summon her to an everlasting home where she will dwell eternally, absent of agony.

Rest well our dearest loved one. By the hand of the Almighty you have been healed and set free, you are now walking in victory.
