Iola Weeks Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Summers Funeral Home - Ustick Chapel - Meridian on Feb. 3, 2026.
Iola (Olie) Weeks fell ill 3 weeks ago and was asking God to take her home.....She did on Sunday morning January 25th.

Olie is carrying 3 plates up her left arm and has a coffe pot in her right hand, serving breakfast with a smile at the Lima Diner.

She had 5 wonderful children (Russ, Donna, Mark, Dan and Linda) with Harry Weeks in 4 different states as they travelled from one road construction job to the next. landing in Meridian in 1965. Remember Pat's Cafe? If you knew her - smile at your waitress next time and leave her a Big tip - her kids are using that for their lunch money at school.

Three of her 5 children (Donna, Mark and Dan) have gone on before her - they will be glad to see her. Linda (Craig) and Russ (Teresa) are still here. She has 12 grandchildren and 22 great grandkids - not named here because they won't read this unless it is in a text.

Olie and Jill are probably sitting in their chairs in Mom's room, watching Family Feud, having coffee and answering all the questions or she is sitting on the bank of Sheep Creek with a fishing pole in her hand.

Thanks to all her friends at Dogwood and the folks who work for Premiere and Doctors Hospice - you are the BEST!
