Marie Ophelia “Nana” Steele Fogleman, age 95, passed away on February 27, 2019, in Baton Rouge, LA, at Southside Gardens Assisted Living. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin Earl Steele and Ruby Ruth Jackson Steele; her loving husband of 51 years, James Earle Fogleman; her sister, Ruth Isabelle Steele Hayes; her brother, Alvin Young Steele; her son-in-law, Wallace Cullen, and her granddaughter, Kelly Karen Cullen. In life, Ophelia’s loving care and concern was shown to all those around her – family, friends, and those in need. She served the Morrow community as postal clerk/postmaster for 29 years. Long after she retired she continued to maintain her beautiful home and its surroundings with flowers, fruit trees, plants, and landscape. Plants and nature were always a joy to her, with her biggest joy being hosting all her family and friends with wonderful food and loving hospitality. Family remaining to cherish her memory are children Alice Ruth “Cherry” Fogleman Cullen, Susan Deanna Fogleman, and James Alvin Fogleman (Agnes). Grandchildren Christine Marie Gaharan, Sean Chandler, Carlene Louise Elliott, Deanna Dale Gaharan, James Felix Fogleman, and Earl Louis Fogleman, as well as seven great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, please consider planting a tree or flowers to spread the natural beauty Ophelia loved so much. 1Attached Images Read More
