Sending my friend Donna much love ❤️
She enjoyed talking about her family and remembering events from childhood or adolescence. She love spending time with her extended family and tried to see everyone when she came to visit. She was always there to support our children in what they chose to do and made a point to come and watch them when she could. Family was important, always.
What can I say about my Aunt Olean that every body who knew her doesn’t already know? She was a kind soul and a true Christian woman. She loved to talk, as we all know. She loved her family above all else but never seemed to meet a stranger. She was only 8 years older than me, so we practically grew up together. Especially since our family was at my grandparents house as much as we were home it seems. Alyce and I would have sleepovers there all the time. Four (Olean, Jean, Alyce and myself) in a double size bed, can you imagine? Sometimes another cousin would join us. I wouldn’t take anything for my childhood days of which she was a big part of. After she and Richard moved to Savannah, I went with Alyce and Jim to visit. One was always welcome in their home, and we were no exception.
All the Christmases and Sunday dinners after church at Granny and Granddaddy’s house will never be forgotten.
The last time I saw Olean was too many years ago. I was home from California and they were in Alabama for a visit, we met at Lake Martin and caught up a bit on our lives. Although I didn’t get to see her often for many years, her passing has left a hole in my heart. I’m sure she is having a great union with her family members and friends that waiting for her.
We had a blast. I am missing you but I know I will see you again.
Olean was a sweet and kind person who was very special to me. I met her when I was three years old. She and my brother Richard had married, and she suddenly appeared in my life.
My earliest memory is of Olean is when she sat me on a counter one day and began washing my face, arms and legs so she could get me dressed and ready to go somewhere with her and Richard. I didn’t know exactly where we were going, but I was certainly excited to go!
Another early memory I have is that she and Richard gave me two Little Golden books; keepsakes that I treasure to this day.
