Loa Eileen Collinson Glenn, age 54 of Nashville, was called suddenly and unexpectedly to be with her Lord on Sunday, Feb. 18, 2018. A graduate of Lipscomb University, Loa was wholeheartedly passionate about being a wife, mother and, most especially, a Mimi. She was full of life and joy and a love for others. Loa was an ever-present supporter and cheerleader of her family and friends, for the Westbury Christian School family in Houston, Texas, the Lipscomb Academy family and her church family. She was often seen on the sidelines, in the audience, in the hallways and volunteering in many ways to support these communities and to partner with her husband, Greg, in his work in Christian education and coaching. She was an avid fan of the Wildcats, Bisons and Mustangs. Loa is preceded in death by mother, Marie Elton Gage; father, Stephen Collinson; and brother, Stephen Collinson, II.
