Miss Ophelene Zachery was born on April 23, 1946 to the parentage of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charlie and Leola (Buchanan) Zachery in Daviston, Tallapoosa County, Alabama.
At an early age, she united with the body of believers at the Cougar Hill C.M.E. Church in Daviston, Alabama. She later joined the County Line Baptist Church, where she served faithfully and remained a steadfast member until her health prevented her from being as active as she desired to be.
In 1963, she married Robert Battle, and their union was blessed for 51 years. Ophelene worked at Handley Textile Mills for 12 years; and also did housekeeping work until she retired.
Ophelene was preceded in death by both parents; seven brothers, and four sisters. Her pre-deceased siblings include brothers: Carey Zachery, Columbus Zachery, Earnest Zachery, Donnie Zachery, Alvin Zachery, Allen Zachery, and Vernon Zachery; and sisters: Catherine, Lue Earnest, Elizabeth, and Mae Recie Wheeler. God in his lovingkindness and mercy, admitted her into his presence, and closed her eyes on August 8, 2015.
He simply closed your lovely eyes, and whispered "Peace BeThine"
Your kindly deeds, your words of wisdom; your thoughtfulness and consideration
These will long be remembered as a source of unfaltering inspiration
You will never be forgotten though on earth you are no more.
But in memory you are with us as ALWAYS before."
