Overa O'Shields

Mrs. O’Shields was born in March 11, 1932, in Liberty SC. She married her love Hoy O’Shields on December 21, 1948. They shared a marriage that was filled with love and chaos from their 4 sons and daughter. Overa, also known as “Nanny”, loved to spend time with her family and took care of everyone she met. While at home she always had a garden, some craft project, puzzle, playing video games with grandkids, or loving on a pet. She never passed up an opportunity to “GO”. She would frequently visit places to see her family, such as the bowling alley, chasing hot air balloons, camping, fishing at the lake, going to the beach, some ball game; basically, any place family and friends might be located. When able, she attended Cedar Rock Baptist Church, in Easley.
