Olen Pence Obituary

Olen H. Pence Jr.

Olen H. "Junior" Pence Jr. passed away Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024, and there was the biggest celebration as Junior joined his mom and dad, Olen and Fern Pence, his brothers, Bus, Ronnie, and Chuck, his sisters, Jean and Judy, and so many other loved ones. His sisters had all of his favorite foods prepared and the cards were laid out and ready to play.

If you had met "Uncle Junior," as all of his nieces and nephews called him, you would not forget him. He was such a kind, caring, compassionate, and giving person who had the biggest heart. He told the best stories, shared great memories, and shared love and laughter wherever he was.

He loved watching CNN, staying up with the local news, NASCAR, and Cleveland Guardians, and was looking forward to watching the upcoming debate.

Olen had nine siblings, Paul Pence, Richard Pence, Ronald Pence, Jean "Gillett" Mann, Cintra Eschenbrenner, Barbara Gatton, Judy Bernard, Sharon Mitchell, and Charles Pence.

He, along with five other siblings, was proud to serve in Armed Services. He served in U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, stationed in Korea.

Coming from such a large family, it is hard to list all of his nieces and nephews, but he loved them all.

Olen's private graveside service will be at Oakwood Cemetery, Fremont.

Memorial contributions may be made to Stein Hospice, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or Humane Society of Seneca County.

We would like to thank his special friend, Betsy, for bringing so much laughter and joy to his life and helping him enjoy his last years.
