Ollie Mae Hussey's Obituary
Ollie Mae Hussey, 98, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on July 28th, 2024, in Houma, Louisiana. She was born on May 8th, 1926, in Leesville, Louisiana, to loving parents who instilled in her the values of kindness and hard work.
Mrs. Hussey's life was marked by her unwavering love for her family. She dedicated herself to caring for her two children with fierce protectiveness and boundless affection. Her son, Billy R. Brister of Galliano, Louisiana, and daughter, Melvina Stevens of Houma, were the center of her world; she poured all her energy into ensuring their happiness and well-being.
In addition to being a devoted mother, Ollie Mae was a cherished grandmother to six adoring grandchildren and an incredible great-grandmother to twenty-one little ones who brought immeasurable joy into her life.
Ollie Mae's compassionate nature extended beyond her family. She touched the lives of many others, forming deep bonds. Melissa, who served as Mrs. Hussey's caregiver during some challenging times, and Sue (Terry) Lasseigne, who became like a daughter to Ollie Mae, are just two examples of the relationships she formed.
The loss of Ollie Mae is deeply felt by those she leaves behind. Her son Billy R. Brister, her daughter Melvina Stevens, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren all mourn the absence of this remarkable woman, cherishing the memories they made with her.
Ollie Mae was preceded in death by William Hussey (husband) Gayle Brister (daughter-in-law) & Barry Stevens (son-in-law), leaving behind cherished memories that will be treasured always.
Visitation for Ollie Mae Hussey will take place at Oak Forest Baptist Church in Leesville on Saturday, August 3rd, at 10:30 am, followed by funeral services at 12:00 p.m. officiated by Pastor Herman Callias before interment at Oak Forest Cemetery, where she'll rest eternally among loved ones near home once more.
Although our hearts ache from the absence of such an extraordinary woman from our lives here on earth, we find comfort in knowing that heaven has gained another angel whose legacy will live on through generations yet unborn.
