Ollie Mae Towns was named for her Aunt Ollie Mae (Stallings) Barber. Both ladies were adored by all family members. Ollie worked as a beautician in Atlanta, owing her own shop. She very successful. Ollie never married. She loved the Lord with all her heart and was a member for many years at Atlanta First Baptist Church. She enjoyed reading her Bible, loved her family, and could see good in those that many others could not. She enjoyed traveling and was able to visit several other countries in Europe and the in Middle East. She was a good daughter, sister, and Aunt. I feel sure when she met her Savior, he said "Well done, my child".
