Olivia Chanel Brock

Olivia Chanel Brock passed peacefully in the arms of her loving parents on March 14th, 2017. Her life was spent surrounded by family and friends whose hearts Olivia touched in many ways throughout her short, yet very memorable life.
Olivia was born on September 6, 2016. During her 6 months here on earth she was loved deeply by family and friends. Her life was a brief gift to us that will live on in our hearts and minds forever. Olivia is survived by her mother, Summer Chanel Brock and father, Ryan Nicholas Brock and her proud big brother, Nicholas Ryan; paternal grandparents, Stacey McDaniels and Jimmy Vance; paternal great-grandmother, Connie King; maternal grandparents, Jeff and Donna Paul; maternal great-grandparents, Brenda and Harvey Bullis.
Olivia was blessed to be part of five generations on both sides of her family as she is also survived by John and Helen White and Clara Dickson (her great-great-grandparents). She is also adored by her aunts and uncles, Nicole and Brandon Archer, Catherine McDaniels, Eric Swart, and Wendell Swart; cousins, Tatum, Oliver, Coltan, Liam and Brooke. She is greeted in heaven by her uncle, Nick Paul and her great-grandfather, Leonard King.
The family will receive friends from 5:00pm-7:00pm, Thursday, March 16, 2017 at Sossoman Funeral Home. Funeral services will follow at 7:00pm in the Colonial Chapel of Sossoman Funeral Home with Rev. Doug Howell officiating.
The family would like to thank the Staff at Levine’s Children’s Hospital PICU for the incredible care provided for Olivia and the entire family.
Olivia’s life while it seems far too short, those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her sweet smile and long eyelashes could melt the hearts of those around her and though she never spoke a word, her voice and thoughts will always be heard
Although Olivia’s illness made her appear frail, she possessed strength, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds. She led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Memorial contributions may be made to help with funeral expenses to Sossoman Funeral Home, P.O. Box 2608, Morganton, NC 28680.
