Olive Marie Sloan, 90, passed away on December 6, surrounded by family.
Born in Richlands, North Carolina, to Lacey and Prudie Humphrey, she grew up in a large and lively family. She was preceded in death by her parents and six siblings: Ruth Stevens, Krissie Ramsey, Christine Williams, Cecil Humphrey, Katherine Matthews, and Billy Humphrey.
Marie was married for 66 years to her beloved husband, Gordon Levern Sloan, who passed away in 2020. True to form, she left this world just in time to join him again for what would have been their 71st wedding anniversary on Christmas Eve.
She was well-known throughout the Maple Hill community for her many years at Lanier’s Grocery, where her welcoming spirit brought warmth and life to a quiet corner of town. Sassy, funny, and full of heart, Marie loved her family fiercely. If she ever called you “Sug,” you knew you had a special place in her life.
She is survived and celebrated by her children: Gary Levern Sloan and wife Ginger of Covington, TN, and Kimmie Sloan Moore and husband Gary of Wilmington; two sisters, Betty Mae Brinson and Linda Whaley; three grandchildren, Aaron Freeman (wife Jaci), Chip Moore (wife Fallon), and Adam Sloan (wife Teri); and five great-grandchildren: Suzanna, Banks, Walsh, Rhodes, and James.
Marie loved all children, and in her honor, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in lieu of flowers. A celebration of Marie’s life will be planned at a later date; no service will be held at this time.
