Ola was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved everyone and never knew a stranger. Ola accepted everybody for who they were, and no one ever went hungry when she was around. She was a devout Catholic who dedicated her life to caring for her family.
She enjoyed bingo, playing cards, and going to the casino with her friends. In her later years, she began painting and sharing her love of art at the Shady Acres.
The family would like to thank Dr. Ray Cinnater, Dr. Robert Gamble, Nancy Tabor Faucheaux, Journey Hospice, and Gloria Dorsey for their help in the final weeks of her blessed and long life.
