Magnolia Jane Overley

Magnolia Jane Overley, beloved infant daughter of Austin Kale & Kelsey Lynn (Jackson) Overley was born asleep on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at Community Howard Regional Health and woke up in the arms of Jesus.

Magnolia’s arrival was anxiously expected in the coming weeks.  She was loved deeply by her family that was looking forward to getting to know her.  Her personality was taking shape even before birth as she demonstrated her love of music that she shared with her mommy and daddy.  She would “dance” in her mommy’s belly at the concerts they attended this summer.

Her loss is felt by her parents, Austin & Kelsey Overley; grandparents, Ann Meadows, Dave (Connie) Jackson, George Overley; great grandparents, Maggie Hewitt, Hughie Jackson, Darrell & Mary Meadows, Deborah Smith; uncle, Alex Jackson; aunt, Ciera Overley; “special aunt”, Brandi Earl and many great aunts, great uncles and cousins.

Her arrival in Heaven was celebrated by her many family members that she has joined, including her grandmother, Paula Jackson; and great grandparents, Janet Jackson and Paul Hewitt.

Magnolia was a gift from God and returned to his loving care far sooner than was expected.  Her life has been celebrated by her family in a private service held in their time of gathering and prayer together.  Magnolia’s parents dedicated her to the Lord and trust in his promises that she is in his presence.

Memorial contributions may be made in Magnolia’s memory to Heaven’s Hands, to support grieving families experiencing infant loss.  Heaven’s Hands Ministry of Crossroads Community Church, 4254 S. 00 EW, Kokomo, IN 46902
