Rev. Dr. MARK HANBY COLLIER August 30, 1942 - February 7, 2022

ev. Dr. Mark Hanby Collier, beloved husband of the late Martha Collier; father of Dr. Matthew Collier (Kristen), Trent Collier (Teresa Fulimeni), and Courtney Abboud (Michael); grandfather of Michael, Kara, Cassian, Violet, Alexis, and Kaelin; brother of the late Bryce A. Collier; brother-in-law of Rhonda (Craig) and Gilbert Harmon; uncle of Rachel Welling, Emily Glass, and Angela Harmon; son of the late Maynard Collier and the late Jean Collier.

Mark attended Yale Divinity School and was ordained into the United Methodist Church. After serving as chaplain at Baldwin-Wallace College, he became the college’s academic dean and, in 1999, its president. Mark was an educator to his marrow. He believed in asking questions that challenge our hearts, minds, and spirits. But he never took himself too seriously--especially not when he could make his children or grandchildren laugh. He loved books, fly-fishing, and a slice of pecan pie. And he dearly loved his Martha Ann, to whom he was married for 55 years.
