Iva Ogletree Obituary (1951 - 2024)

Early in the morning in on October 29th, Iva Marie (Taylor) Ogletree lost her battle with COPD. She joins her Mother, Gladys A. Clark, Father, A.C. McGuire, Grandmother, Iva Taylor, and Grandson, Jaycee Champion, in the Kingdom of the Lord. Iva was a graduate of Dunbar High School, class of 1969. She worked for and retired from Ohio Bell/SBC after 34 years of service. She worked as a Donation Specialist for InfoCision. Then she became STNA to become a Home Healthcare Aid. Iva was a breast cancer survivor and spent her remaining days being "nana" to her granddaughter, and wife. Iva leaves behind her devoted Husband, Willie S. Ogletree Jr., Brother, Dwight O. Birdsong, Son, Willie S. Ogletree III, Daughter, Iris M. Ogletree, Niece, Zakara Z. Robinson, Bonus Son, Willie E. Florence, Bonus Daughter, Dondi L.

Brown, Granddaughter Blossom Jackson, longtime friends, Benita Smith, Emma Jean Bradley , Cynthia Ann Bradley, Brenda Williams, Jackie Layne, and a host of other family and friends. Iva did not believe in sad gatherings. She never wanted her loved ones sitting around sad, and upset. She would want us celebrating the end of her pain and suffering. We will be having a gathering on November 30th. The venue is still being discussed, because this will be a child friendly gathering. On behalf of the Ogletree family, we thank you for your condolences, prayers and love.
