Collyer Drake Grider
May 12, 2018
Today we said goodbye to our loving mother, friend and trusted confidante. Without reservation, we can say that we have lost one of the last, true southern belles of her time. Her deep faith in Jesus Christ and her life practice of all things “southern proper” was ingrained not only in her speech, dress and behavior but in the committed belief that one should always love and respect themselves and all those they encounter. She will be remembered for her beautiful signature hats, gloves, and sitting demurely, ankles crossed, representing the grace, poise and gentility of her generation.
After living in Pensacola many years, she still called Alabama home. Born there, she was raised on a farm and later married Allen Grider, a young US Marine and raised a family. She leaves behind two devoted daughters, Mary (Tommy) Knight and Cylinda (Rab) Nelson; six grandchildren, Joshua (Rachel) Nettles, Jessica (Ben) Smith, Claudia Robbins, Sawyer Nelson, Colton Knight and Shelby Knight; and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister, Ollie Jo (Harold) Meeks and numerous loving nieces and nephews.
A burial graveside service was held at Rose Hill Cemetary (Rose Hill, Alabama) on Friday, May 11, 2018.
Faith Chapel Funeral Home North is entrusted with the arrangements.
