RIVERSIDE — Wanda Jean Herrin O'Quinn, 77 of Riverside, passed away Friday, October 4, 2024 in Helena, Montana following an extended illness.
Born in Brantley County, Mrs. O’Quinn’s parents were Kay Herrin and Bessie Sapp Herrin. She was also preceded in death by her husband Charles O’Quinn; and brothers, Harry Herrin, David Herrin and Larry Herrin.
Mrs. O’Quinn was a retired nurse. She never stopped taking care of others. Most of all, she was a loving wife, mother, nana, meme, sister, aunt and friend to so very many. Her door was always open to those in need, a cup of coffee, a slice of pound cake, a listening ear and sometimes a gentle hug. No matter what there was always room for one more. She was a rock for so many.
