Mary Collier Acol, age 63, passed away February 5, 2019 surrounded by loved ones. She is preceded in death by her mother, Cordelia Collier and her father, Edgar Collier along with her brother, Raymond “Bo” Collier and her sister, Shirley Talley.
Born in Hampton, Virginia, Mary was a lifelong resident of the Peninsula. She was a Property Manager for the Riverdale Apartment Company for over 25 years and finished her career as a property manager for a small apartment community in Newport News.
Mary dedicated her entire life to her family. Her children and grandchildren were her reason for living and she made every moment with them special, as well as the rest of her family. She was there for every birthday, graduation, baby shower, holiday and just any given day of the week. She put so much sunshine in everything she was a part of. Mary had the biggest heart of gold and the love she showed has been passed down through her loved ones along with the memories. God truly gained an angel, because we definitely have lost one here.
Mary is survived by her husband, Philip Acol; children, Chadwick Albert, Beau Albert, Tiffany Burch and Toni Bonet and their spouses; grandchildren, Jason, Caleb, Madison and Cordelia Albert, and Kayla and Brandyn Martin; brother, Edgar “Bubba” Collier and sister, Sandra Kochersperger and their spouses; along with nieces and nephews and several other family members.
