Patricia Collier

Epsom Collier obit.jpg

Epsom – Patricia (Pevere) Collier, 86, passed away April 9, 2015 at the Epsom Health Care Center after a lengthy illness with Alzheimer’s disease.

 

She was born  in Port Arthur, TX on October 3, 1928, the daughter of the late Ernest and Lydia (Nickerson) Pevere and grew  up in Beacon, NY.

 

Pat loved music, the outdoors, animals and life.  She played the piano, learned how to fly a plane and obtained her pilot’s license. Pat was also an avid hiker, introducing her seven children to hiking in the Adirondack Mountains in NY, the Green Mountains in VT, and the White Mountains in NH.  Summer vacations were spent at the family homestead in W. Harwich, Cape Cod, where her parents resided half the year.

 

Pat became involved in national politics, joined the NAACP, the Lake George Preservation Council, and Adirondack Mountain Club.  Anti-war agendas, hiking, and saving Lake George from further development became her causes and passions.  She participated in the Great Peace March of 1986 and protested at many peace rallies.  Pat moved to Burlington, VT in the late 80s, where she and her many friends attended a vigil every night in downtown Burlington on Church Street, holding signs to promote peace.

 

Pat is survived by six children, Rick and John Collier of LA, Sandra King of AK, Abby Collier of MD, Rebecca Collier of OH, and Patricia and her husband Michael Langlois of NH; grandchildren, Jodi and Lori Collier, Caroline Marshall, Kyle and Theodore King, Katherine McConnell and Joshua Collier; and many great grandchildren. Her son Paul predeceased her.

 

Services will be held on Saturday, July 18 at 2 PM at the Exeter Cemetery in Exeter. 

 

The family wishes to thank all those who cared for Pat during her illness.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Inn at Deerfield, 34 Ridge Road, Deerfield, NH 03037 or the Epsom Healthcare Center, 901 Suncook Valley Hwy., Epsom, NH 03234.
