Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. In humble submission to the Will of God, Miller Funeral Services and Crematory sorrowfully announce the earthly departure of Mrs. Olivia C. Wedgeworth, 85 of Marion Junction, AL.
Funeral Service will be held Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Salem P.B. Church, Co. Rd 3, Orrville, AL. Rev. Lee Green, Pastor-Officiant. Interment in Church cemetery.
