of Conway, AR
October 29, 1928 - September 18, 2022
Helen Jewel Sellers Olles, 93, of Conway went to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 18, 2022. She was born October 29, 1928 in Conway to the late James Chester Sellers and the late Verna Mae (Johnston) Sellers. She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Paul Olles.
Mrs. Olles was raised and lived most of her life in the Pickles Gap community north of Conway. She became known as "Miss Pickles Gap" at Good Shepherd Nursing Center as she shared many fond memories of her life there. Mrs. Olles was a 1947 graduate of Conway High School. She worked for International Shoe Company and Moore's Butane Company for many years, as well as for her husband's Dump Trucking company. She was known for being an excellent cook, especially for her homemade rolls and for having sweet tea ready for anyone who stopped by to visit. Mrs. Olles had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed spending time with her family. She particularly enjoyed the cousin's lunches that she and her sister would host.
She is survived by one sister, Patsy Fuller of Little Rock, AR; one nephew, David (Lisa) Murdock of Conway, AR; two nieces, Anita (Kevin) Justice of Eastman, GA and Michelle (Chuck) Rickard of Little Rock, AR; one great-nephew, Justin (Jhierney) Murdock of Alexandria, VA; three great-nieces, Joy Murdock of Conway, AR, Allison Rickard of Little Rock, AR and Kemper Grace Justice of Eastman, GA. She was also survived by cousins, friends and family members of her late husband.
A Rosary and visitation will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church at 10:00 am on Saturday, September 24, 2022, followed by A Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 am. Burial will be at St. Joseph Catholic Church Mausoleum.
Patsy I am sorry for your loss
She was a wonderful, caring person.
Patsy and family, please know you are all in my prayers for comfort only our Lord can provide. I will always remember both Paul & Helen always smiling and having fun.
Patsy, David, Anita and Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear of Helen Jewel's passing. Such a sweet lady! I always remember her cute smile and kind eyes. And of course, her dishes at church potlucks (many memories of you all at Pickles Gap). Praying God's peace and comfort for you at this time.
