Deacon Ollie Lee Mikell, Jr. passed away unexpectedly at home on Wednesday,
November 30, 2017. Ollie was seventy-nine years old.
Ollie was born in Claxton, GA on March 21, 1938 to the union of the late Ollie

Massachusetts and stayed with the late Sherman Brown. He married at an early age.
Five children were born during the marriage (Willie L. Scott-Mikell); two of the
children preceded him in death.
His parents were very involved in the United House of Prayer For All People.
They ensured Ollies name was listed on the roll at an early age. He served under

in the United House of Prayer in Boston, MA. He continued this work when he

levels. Ollie took Chemistry classes at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
In later years, he attended New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) where he
learned the auto body trade. Ollie ran his own auto body shop until he retired.
He enjoyed cooking, fishing, gardening, listening to various genres of music,
reading, and working on cars. In addition, Ollie enjoyed discussing biblical stories,
which related to historical events, or just talking to people in general.
