Loraine Oliver Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hood Funeral Home & Crematory on Jan. 7, 2026.
LORIANE OLIVER age 66 of Crossville, TN passed away January 4, 2026. She was born February 24, 1959 in Redwood, CA the daughter of Ernie and Patricia Morrow Hanni.

Loraine Oliver is survived by her children, Robert Clark and his wife Alanah Clark, and Georgie Coble and her husband Trustian Coble. She is also survived by the grandchildren who were her world: Stevie Clark, Axel Smith, and Rowan Coble.

Her family and close friends were the greatest joys of her life, and she made sure everyone knew it. Loraine loved her work as a Registered Nurse, but she especially loved being a mother, even when that meant making her famous "baby-food casserole and cheese toast." She had a gift for leaving a mark on every life she touched, whether as an RN, a mother, a friend, or simply through the warmth and joy she carried with her each day.

Loraine also loved to be silly, to pull harmless pranks, and to fill every room with laughter. She often said, "There is to be no sadness, only smiles." That spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who love her.

She will be remembered as the best Grandmama there ever was, and as someone who wanted nothing more than to bring joy to others.

A private family service will be held at a later time.
