Wilma Jean Collier (née Patrick), known as Jean, Jeanie, Wilma Jean, Aunt Jean, Mom, Mom-Mom & Maw Maw passed away at Heritage Hall Laurel Meadows, in Laurel Fork Virginia, on July 25, 2025, at the age of 94.
Born in Tennessee to Llewellyn and Esther (Rushing) Patrick, Jean was the youngest of seven. She later made her home in Salem County, New Jersey, spent most of her adult life.
Jean was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. Always greeting visitors with a fresh pitcher of sweet tea and a homemade dessert. She was an amazing homemaker who raised her children in Deepwater NJ. After her boys were grown, she worked as a nursing assistant at The Memorial Hospital of Salem County.
