Oscar Melvin Powelson Obituary
We are sad to announce that on October 20, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Oscar Melvin Powelson of Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As Oscar departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Oscar may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Oscar leaves behind.
He was predeceased by: his wives, JoAnn Smitley Powelson and Emma Elizabeth Keim Powelson (Betty); and his brother Robert Powelson of Michigan. He is survived by: his granddaughter Lauren Emerson; his stepdaughter Diane; his pet Tootsie; Darlene Newill Slaven, Darryl Newill and Diane Newill Emerson.
A graveside service will be held on Friday, October 24th 2025 at 3:00 PM at the Jefferson Cemetery (1491 Jefferson Rd, Jefferson, PA 15344).
The family suggests donations to the Greene County Humane Society, 183 Jefferson Rd., Waynesburg, Pa. 15370.
