Annie Loletta (Benton) Ollis

Loletta was born May 3rd, 1967 in Morganton, NC. She was the daughter of Brenda Diane Williams of Morganton.

Loletta touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with, no matter where she was. She was a fighter and loved with everything she had. To know her was to love her. She had a big heart and would give you the shirt off her back if that would help. She was passionate about family and friends. She loved the get togethers with both.

Loletta possessed a great sense of humor. She loved to joke and make every adventure fun, no matter what. Her stories were always shared with laughter, especially when it came to reminiscing about childhood memories and adventures. She was an avid lover of the mountains. If she had a choice between the beach and mountains, she would pick the mountains every time.

She loved her animals, especially Gizmo. He was her baby as she called him.

Loletta was a hard worker. She worked until her health made her stop. She fought that to. She always had the mentality that to have something you had to work hard for it and never give up. Her strong will and courage to fight made her who she was, a fighter! Loletta always said ‘life is way to short to do anything but live it to the fullest, and be happy doing it’ Loletta fought until the last breath she took and God called her home.

Loletta was loved by many and will be missed dearly.
