Mr. Sidney Andrew Ogletree

Mr. Sidney Andrew Ogletree passed away on December 24, 2022 in Carthage. He had lived in Carthage for 20 years. Sidney was born October 2, 1930 to D.L and Lynda Mae Ogletree of Dixon, MS. He was the second oldest of their 13 children. He married Ann Thrash Ogletree on February 10, 1955. They had one son Brad Ogletree and two granddaughters Sydney (named after her grandfather) and Sadie, all of Carthage. If you ever talked to Sidney, he would tell you how very blessed he was to have such a wonderful family. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He served in Korea with the United States Army from 1952-1954. He worked for Sperry Vickers in Jackson, MS as a purchasing liason engineer for over 40 years. Mr and Mrs. Ogletree raised their family in Jackson, MS, where they were active members of Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Sidney enjoyed the first part of his retirement years in Terry, MS working in the yard, fishing and doing projects with his good friend Jim Eady. Sidney and Ann moved to Carthage in 2004 to be closer to their family. In Carthage, Sidney attended Carthage United Methodist Church. Always a hard worker, Sidney took great pride in his garden and yard. Even as recently as two weeks ago, Sidney was cutting his own grass and picking up the ever-pesky pine cones. He was a cherished grandfather who was always on hand to support his granddaughters in their many activities. In the last years of his wife Ann’s life, Sidney was a beautiful example of a godly husband, taking great care of her during her extended illness. Sidney was loved by many in the Carthage community for his kindness, humility and hard work. He was affectionately known as Poppa Sid to many. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ogletree were blessed to have a special caregiver in their life - Betty Minshew. Betty was not only a provider of quality healthcare; she was family. Sidney was preceded in death by his parents, wife of over 60 years Ann, sisters Frances (Bill Gates) and Margaret (Charles Arnold), and brothers Lamar Ogletree (Gail), Donald Ogletree (Joyce), Dan Ogletree (Cindy), Tommy Ogletree (Linda). He is survived by his son Brad (Mikki), granddaughters Sydney and Sadie, sisters Peggy Brantley (George Brantly), Beverly Durant, Belinda Gilmore (Wayne Gilmore) and brothers Alan Ogletree (Janice), Zywon Ogletree (T.J.), and Steve Ogletree.
