Joanne Bryant Oliver was born at home August 6, 1927 in Keo, Arkansas. Her parents Joe and Virgie Burleson Bryant, husband Tony Oliver, and brother Bill Bryant preceded her in death.
For 10 years Mrs. Oliver’s weekly column, Keo News, appeared in the England Democrat, keeping anyone calling Keo home informed. She was thrilled to be recognized by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in their Style section for her editorial expertise. She was a great source of local information for many genealogists. Mrs. Oliver’s son David has been a constant and faithful caregiver and has made many friends at England Nursing Home.
Joanne is survived by her children Sally Larsen of Grandview, MO and David Oliver of Keo, brother Larry (Sue) Bryant of Maumelle, and grandchildren Abby and David Larsen.
