Ollie Hardee

(From Simpson Funeral Home)

Ollie Mae Hardee, a spirited and resilient soul, was born to parents William "Buck" Foster and Flora Bolton on November 5, 1938, in Piggott, Arkansas. Ollie's journey through life was marked by her loving and generous heart, a testament to the strength of her character and her unwavering faith. Her life beautifully exemplified the words of Albert Einstein: "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."

In her 87 years, Ollie created a legacy that will live on in the hearts of those she touched. After moving to Webb City, Missouri, where she spent over 50 years, she became a known and loved figure in the community. Ollie was wholeheartedly devoted to her work at Gene's Plumbing, where she served until her retirement. Her dedication to her work was paralleled only by her dedication to her faith. Her most cherished hobby was her church, where she not only worshipped but actively participated, her kindness and generosity making her a beacon of light in the congregation.

Ollie's love for God was mirrored in her love for her children, who were her world. She was a pillar of strength, a source of unending love and comfort for all who had the privilege to know her. Her legacy will continue to inspire and uplift, a testament to a life well-lived and a woman well-loved.

Ollie was preceded in death by her father, William "Buck" Foster, and her mother, Flora Bolton; children, Dennis Jordan, Denise Coates and Nancy Jordan; brothers, Melvin, Donald, Bill, Marvin Foster and her granddaughter Jennifer Jordan. She is survived by her sons David (Kathy) Jordan, Danny Conway; grandchildren, Angela Jordan, Mike (Lacey) Jordan, Aaron (Tonya) Jordan, Joe Jordan, Amy Jordan Thomas, Samantha Walker, Danny Conway, Zachariah Conway, Brandon Ropp, Brooke Luker, Brittany Jacks, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
