Jena Cuthbert Collier II ’38

Body

Jena died Feb. 26, 2003.

Before coming to Princeton, he attended Gordon Military Academy, where he played football, baseball, and tennis. After college he earned an MBA from Georgia Institute of Technology. In WWII he served as an Army captain in Africa and Italy. After the war, he taught military science at Georgia Tech.

In the early 1950s he joined the Lockheed-Georgia Co., working in marketing until his retirement in 1983, when he moved to Oriental, N.C.

Jena is survived by his wife, the former Helga Rosemann; sons Jena Cuthbert III and Christopher Reid; a sister, Virginia Collier Dennis; and two grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its belated but sincere sympathy.
