Middie Irene Collard was born April 1, 1938. She left this life July 10, 2011 after a brief illness. She was born in Iola, Texas but raised her family in Brazoria County. She didn't see herself as special, but her family knew her as their port in a storm, the backbone of the family. "Irene" created beauty all around her with simple things, from her flower garden, to her home, and into the lives of the people she touched. She loved Christmas, marbles and rocks of every kind. She will be remembered for her generous fun, kind and loving nature that made everyone feel special.
She was preceded in death by her husband George M. Collard.
