Ollie Bea Colbert

Ollie Bea Colbert age 79, passed peacefully from this life at her home in Tishomingo, Oklahoma on June 4, 2020. She was born on November 28, 1940 in Yale, Virginia to Jerry Moore and Carla Richardson. Ollie was the church clerk and treasurer of First Baptist Church on 6th and Burris for 46 years. She was a devoted member and loved her church family dearly. Ollie also worked at Dee’s Sewing Manufactory for many years and worked for Gentiva Home Health. She was the designated full time baby sitter for all her great grandchildren and she loved her family deeply with all she had.

Heaven gained a beautiful soul and our family now has the best guardian angel looking down on them.
