Auntie Chaos or Mrs. McCollum is how I knew her. She was the best part of Chaos Company and made everyone's day that she came into contact with. One of the hardest workers I ever met and truly made Chaos Company, the "Iron Foot" Battalion, and the Army a better place. One of my favorite memories about her was that no matter how crazy the day was or how hard the day was, you could always count on Ms. McCollum to make you day better! And her office was the only place on Sand Hill that smelt good. We love you and will miss you Auntie Chaos!
We pray that you and your family spiritual strength will overcome you all human weakness today and in rhe days ahead love Shirley Bailey
Sending condolences to the entire family.

May God bless Catina's family and all who loved her. She was an outstanding worker and very intelligent. On days when I brought my grandson to work, she would always say "let me put the baby to sleep." She had a natural knack for it. The world has lost a wife, mother and daughter but Heaven has gained an angel. She will be missed.
Families, I apologize for the misspelling of Our love ❤️ one name. I said Katina ... It's Catina, please charge it to my head and not my heart. Stay Blessed and that I love all of you.❤️❤️❤️Bernice Spratling Beaty
