SFC Darrell Wayne Olds, Sr., aka Oscar aka D.O., was born February 4, 1960 in Graceville, FL to Lenora Cotton Olds and the late Willie Lee Olds.
Darrell joined New Bethel CME Church and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age. He served the ministry faithfully across many spectrums over several years. You could find him on any given day at the church cleaning up, mowing the lawn, or singing in the choir. If he wasn’t at the church, he was on a porch chopping it up with family and friends, in the field working, or with the Campbellton Men’s Club.
Darrell retired from the United States Army in 1998 after serving our country for twenty years. He served several tours during his tenure. He then went on to work for Michelin in Dothan, AL for more than a decade before retiring one last time. After retiring, he dedicated his life to serving both his family and community. Campbellton will never be the same, and his presence and bright smile will be missed.
He was united in Holy Matrimony to Alneta Yvonne Britt Olds on April 14, 1990. Darrell was preceded in death by his father, Willie Lee Olds, and siblings, Jeffrey Todd Olds and Rebecca Ann Olds.
He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife of 34 years, Yvonne Olds. Three children: Candis Williams, Jessica Olds, and Darrell (Sabrina) Olds, Jr. Four Grandchildren: Kyron Hall, Ariel Olds, Kylee Hall, and Asher Broxton. His mother, Lenora Olds. Five Siblings: Douglas Cotton, Sherry (Gregory) Weatherington, Tammy Billups, Willie (Tanya) Olds, and Henry Olds, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, other relatives and friends.
