Arvil Olane Caswell (1927-2018)

by Eric

Our Papa, Olane Caswell, 91, of Brownfield, went home to his Father on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018.  He was surrounded by loving family in his home.  A celebration of our Papa’s life will be 10 a.m. Friday, October 5that First Baptist Church in Meadow with Pastor Greg Breedlove officiating. Interment will follow in the Meadow Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Brownfield Funeral Home.

Papa was born on August 26, 1927, in Hollis, OK to Doug and Bessie Caswell.  He moved to Terry County with his family in 1945.  He soon met the love of his life, LaDoyce Keesee and made her his “forever” on July 28, 1949.  Papa was a diligent steward of the land all of his days.  His other great loves were for his Jesus, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!  Papa had a way of showing us that it’s the little things that are the big things in life. He was preceded into glory by his parents, son Gerald, son-in-law Alan Bayer, precious great-granddaughter Cambry, 10 brothers, and 3 sisters.

Papa is survived by his “sweetie face”, LaDoyce Caswell, his three daughters Shirla Bayer, Roni Taylor (Steve), and Laura Mackey (Philip), thirteen grandchildren, thirty-two great-grandkids; his sister, Auvanell Parrish and daughter – in – law, Tere Caswell. We were blessed with the best!
