July 13, 1931 - April 29, 2025
Ella Mae Poag, 93, of Osceola went to her Heavenly Home Tuesday, April 29, 2025. She was born July 13, 1931 in Collinwood, TN to the late Noble and Debbie Dixon. Ella Mae was a member of Keiser Methodist Church, where she was the Church Pianist and Organist. She was a retired School Teacher of 30 years for Keiser Elementary. She spent her time working in her vegetable and flower garden as well as being a good cook. She is survived by her sons, Dewayne Poag and Bob Poag (Lisa); grandchild, Alex Poag and brother, Harold Dixon. Ella Mae is preceded in death by her parents and husband, Edgar Poag and brother, Perry Dixon.
Such a honorable Christian woman. Kind with wisdom. She made a difference. She will be missed. Prayers for her family and church family.
My condolences go out to Mrs. Poag's family. She was my 3rd grade teacher at Keiser in 1979-80, and I've often thought of her over the past 45+ years. I used lessons learned at that young age in her class throughout my own teaching career and credit her with my ability to write neatly in cursive. She will be fondly remembered.
Dewayne and Bob, our family "grew up" with your family and we loved your mother so much. She was an important part of our early childhood. I know you will miss her, but dwell on all of the contributions she made to so many during her life. She and your dad are united again.
I am writing this for Shirley, Jim (Jimmy), and me. Your family has always been so important to all of us.
Sending my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Prayers are going up for yall 🙏
Praying for your family during this difficult time of loss.
