Kimberlie Ann Collier
Our beloved and precious wife, mother, grandma, sister, and friend, Kimberlie Ann Lee Collier, passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior on Monday, May 18, 2026, at Auburn Community Hospital after being diagnosed with cancer just two short weeks ago.
Kim was born February 18, 1963, at the Newark Wayne Hospital in Newark, NY, to the late Calvin and Caroline Lee. Kim graduated in 1981 from Clyde-Savannah Central School, where she was lead majorette for the Savannah Cellar Savers and also excelled in cheer. She became a nurse practitioner and worked many years at Auburn Internal Medicine and was dearly loved by all her patients.
She loved listening to music, watching movies, camping (rather glamping), and bird watching. She loved her dog Romeo, her kitty, and enjoyed watching her big goldfish.
Kim was introduced to and married the love of her life, Timothy Collier, on October 1, 2005, and they were blessed with 20 years and 7 months of marriage. You would often find them laughing together and knew that they were not only husband and wife but true great friends.
Kim is survived by her beloved husband, Timothy Collier; her precious daughter, Sarah Reed of Auburn; sister, Louie Lee Yonker of Red Creek; stepchildren, Madison Musci, Daniel Collier, Scott Collier; brothers-in-law, Carl (Thadine) Collier, Kevin Collier, Michael Collier, Ernie (Trisha) Collier, Patrick, and Frank Conway; and sister-in-law, Susan (Harold) Kwoal.
Kim's joy in her life were her precious grandchildren who she loved and adored: Mackenzie Reed, Jeremiah Reed, Olivia Nemo, Shayla Poole, Joshua Poole, Lincoln Collier, Reagan Collier, Ford Collier, Jack Collier, and Lane Musci; and many very special nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.
She was predeceased by her parents, Calvin and Caroline Lee; grandparents, Bill and Rose Higgs; and her lost beloved sons, Joshua Poole, Nathaniel Poole, and Jared Poole; son-in-law, James Reed; brother-in-law, Stephen (Lorrie) Yonker; and sister-in-law, Wendy (Michael) Collier. She had many friends but two very special and close friends, Melody Stowell-Jenkins and Sharon Johnson.
Friends are invited to visit the family on Friday, May 22, from 11 AM to noon, with a service to follow at 12:15 PM at Langham Funeral Home, LLC, 48 South Street, Auburn, NY. Burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery, Lyons, NY. Visit www.Langhamfuneralhomellc.com.
Our hearts are breaking as we say goodbye, but we know she is in the presence of our precious Lord and in no more pain. Kim’s new address change is “HEAVEN.” Praise the Lord.
