Margaret Orene Allison
November 9, 1939 — June 6, 2019
The Cochran Funeral Home & Crematory of Blairsville announces the death of Margaret Orene Allison, age 79 of Young Harris, who went to be with her Lord on Thursday, June 6, 2019.
Ms. Allison was born on November 9, 1939 in Young Harris, Georgia to the late William Alonzo and Nole (Solesbee) Allison. She was the youngest and last remaining of six children in her family. She acquired skills and character attributes in her early years that would serve her well into the future. Orene learned to be frugal and sew her own clothing. She learned to cook and enjoyed collecting new recipes, especially desserts! But, more importantly she learned the meaning of caring for family, the value of loyalty and dependability, and the power of prayer to God Almighty. She was a long-time member of Woods Grove Baptist Church and in private, a prayer-warrior. Upon graduation from Towns County High School, Orene left Young Harris to join her sister Christine in Atlanta where she worked at the Hartford Insurance Company for the next 40 years. Several years after retirement, Orene moved back to the family homestead.
Orene loved to give gifts and watch the expressions of joy. Not having children of her own she stepped in to help raise and be a second mother to her niece and her two children. She was always there to care for and love them. Her quirky personality and dedication to family will long be remembered.
She leaves behind her legacy to a large extended family including numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Orene was preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Ralph Allison, Kathleen Nelson, Christine Robertson, Loy Allison, and Aude Allison.
A Memorial Service will be planned at a later date.
Arrangements entrusted to the Cochran Funeral Home & Crematory of Blairsville. You may send condolences to the family at www.cochranfuneralhomes.com.
