your mother was a true angel,she will be missed by all,she is so happy to be with your dad again,lov u olean
I’m so sad to learn about this! Some of my best childhood memories were of Aunt Nanny (That’s what I always called her) Every weekend I would go to Cataract with my grandma, and grandpa and spend time with her. She was always the sweetest person, and you never went hungry around her. She was a great cook, and was always cooking. She made the best macaroni and tomato. We loved watching for the hummingbirds in her garden. I remember one time I was going to her house, and got spooked by a lizard she just laughed and laughed at me after I ran screaming from her house to papaw’s 🙂 and I’m sure there was a ‘Well ba-ding, Ba-dong’ in there somewhere too. She was such a great person. The kind of person who just made you feel loved, and welcomed. ~~~Amber Lane
There’s too many memories to even begin to attempt to try to list them. All good ones though! You will truly be missed dearest Aunt Olean! Our prayers will be with your family. We love you!
This lady was like a second Mother to me after Lora and I became best friends in the 5th grade. I had not seen her in years but I have so many fond memories of her. No one could ever forget her laugh, that’s the first thing I think of when I think of her. Another thing that always comes to mind is her love for The Lord and her family. Everyone fortunate enough to have known Carl and Olean Wilcher should consider themselves blessed. I know I do. My heart is heavy and tears in my eyes. She was a good one. Jennifer Lowry Wagoner
Linda & family, sorry to hear about your mom. I know how it feels to loss one of the best friends that you will ever have. May GOD help you through your time of sorrow. Our prayers are with you at this time. Everett & Patty Lundy
My prayers are with all. I have so many mempries of Aunt Olean and never will they be forgotten she is always in my heart with my great grandmother Mae coffman. These two wonderful sisters played big parts in my life teaching me to cook and sew. Would you know those are the thing i enjoy. I know she always made me comfortable and was so loving. Her smile and comforting words will be missed Love you Aunt Olean Love Tabatha Devine ( Alexander )
Thank you Ma for being my ‘other’ mother…I was very blessed to have you in my life and I will be forever grateful that you loved me as if you gave birth to me yourself, I love you with every fiber of my being. Thank you for being an absolute wonder example of a woman. I will miss you terribly, but I am very happy that you have went ‘home’…R.I.P.

I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Olean from the country, Mom and Dad’s porch, her house and carport, the last family reunion I remember was at their house. I have a picture of her that day with shaving cream everywhere! She was a beautiful, kind woman of faith who never judged others. Love Always, Vickie
