Olen Gene Saunders

By | October 1, 2012

The Angels came to carry Olen Gene Saunders to his Heavenly Home on September 28, 2012. He was a son, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.

He was born December 23, 1951, to the late James and Margaret Coleman Saunders. He was preceded in death by his wife, Brenda and his brother, Tom.

He is survived by his devoted children, Susan (Dave), and James (Beth), loving Papa to Justin (Liranda), Pete, Angel, Brittany, Devin, James Jr. and Masen, beloved brother to Sharon, David and Mary, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

His grandchildren, known to them as Papa, were the sunshine of his life. His smile and eyes lit up when they walked into his room. They could not wait to run to their Papa with a hug and kiss. All was well when they arrived.

He enjoyed the Cincinnati Bengals and NASCAR.

His passing leaves a huge void in the many lives of those who loved him and we will all miss him dearly.

Visitation will be Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The funeral service will commence at 1 p.m. at the Lewis and Gillum Funeral Home, Oak Hill Chapel. Interment will follow at C. M. Cemetery.
