Ellis Calno Collier

Ellis Calno Collier, 85, was born July 10, 1940, in Liberty, and passed away peacefully on Saturday March 7, 2026. Calno will be remembered as a hard-working, honest, humorous man whose presence brought steadiness, laughter, and warmth to those around him.

Calno was an Army Veteran and worked as a pipefitter for over 30 years in Pasadena, TX. He took pride in a life built on showing up, doing the job right, and sharing a good laugh along the way.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Lou Anna; his daughter Yvonne and her wife Connie Windham; his son Kenneth and his wife Alicia; grandsons Dustin Manuel, Chance Collier; granddaughter Amanda Albert; great grandsons Tristian Bird, Christopher Coyle, Dusty Manuel and great granddaughter Stella Albert.
