COLLARD, BEVERLEE ANN (nee SLOAN), 87, of Waterford passed into the presence of Jesus her Savior on Thursday, March 5, 2020. She was born on July 29, 1932, in Leamington, Ontario to Garnet and Velma (Lackey) Sloan. She is survived by her husband Richard Lee Collard whom she married on September 15, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan. Also surviving are five children, Lee Ann Collard of Waterford, Mark (Laurie) Collard of Sterling Heights, Ruth (Patrick) Hanna of Cambridge, Ontario, Steve (Lydia) Collard of Sterling Heights, and Kevin (Lorna) Collard of Sterling Heights; 8 grandchildren, Becky (Chris) Lozano, Nathan (Jennifer) Collard, Gordie (Tammany) Hanna, Julie (Sam) Tovar, Andrew Collard, Derek Collard, Kristi (Dave) Metz, and Alyssa (Ted) Bogar; 7 great-grandchildren, James Hanna, Emery and Sawyer Lozano, Henry Collard, Daniel and Jacob Metz, and Elizabeth Collard; sister, Elaine (Jerry) Simpson and a brother Kenneth (Donna) Sloan. She was preceded in death by her parents; and two sisters Marilyn Krause and Sharron Dunmore. Beverlee attended Corunna Bible Chapel and loved the fellowship there. She was known for her unconditional love; prayer and care for others; hospitality; her support of the ball teams her husband Dick coached, including the best lemonade on earth. Her main occupation was raising her five children; loving her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But she also worked as a dental assistant; stenographer at Michigan Bell; sales at Montgomery Ward; cook at Harvey's Restaurant and Lourdes Senior Community; house mom for adult foster care at Cambrook House; and lunch mom at the Waterford Village School. If you can name it - Avon, Amway, Watkins, Tupperware - she sold it. Many thanks to Tina Fisk for her care for Beverlee for several years at home and for the caring staff at Canterbury on the Lake and Beaumont Hospital Troy and Hospice over the recent difficult days and months.
