Dolores Ollice

Dolores was born November 24, 1929, in Cullman, Alabama, to the late Annie Lee Brown Pylant and Nathan Bruce Pylant. She graduated from Cullman High School, and Florence State Teachers College (Univ. of North Alabama), with an Education degree, majoring in English. She married Ed Ollice, of Portsmouth, VA, shortly afterwards, and while he served in the Air Force during the Korean War, lived in Colorado Springs, CO, and Reno, NV. After the war, they lived in Auburn, AL, and then Dunbar, WV, for 28 years. They retired to Oak Island, NC, in 1986. She was a lifelong Methodist, and a member of Ocean View United Methodist Church on Oak Island for 38 years, where she will be interred in the columbarium with her husband. She was an avid bridge player, a dedicated Jeopardy fan, and was known to sip a little glass of white wine, occasionally.

Survivors include two sons, Randy Ollice and wife Deborah, of Oak Island, NC, and Bruce Ollice and wife Theresa, of Williamsburg, VA; her sister, Mary Burden, of Trussville, AL; her sister-in-law, Berta Pylant, of Atlanta, GA; and 16 nieces/nephews and their spouses and children.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, William Edward Ollice; and her brother, David Pylant, of Pine Mountain, GA.

To family, neighbors, church-going friends, bridge-playing friends, and wine-sipping friends, she loved you all, so much.

In accordance with her wishes, no services will be held.
