Larry Bruce and GeorgeAnn Fann (affectionately known as Oompa and Granny), went to be with their Lord and Savior on Thursday, December 25, 2014 following an auto accident. Larry was born January 26, 1938 in Greenville, TN and GeorgeAnn was born May 9, 1938 in Durant, OK. They were both dedicated, joyful servants of the Lord and faithful devoted members of the Hope4Life Church, where Larry served as a deacon and elder and sang with the worship team. GeorgeAnn will be remembered for her unselfish service with the elderly and was an avid prayer warrior. Larry proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, retiring as a Staff Sergeant. They were loving parents, grandparents and great grandparents and will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing them.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Luther and Edna Fann, and sister, Irene. GeorgeAnn was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Eliza Ragsdale, two sisters, Lillie and Sue and brother, George. Survivors of Larry and GeorgeAnn include their two sons, Lloyd Fann and wife Lorre of Denton, TX and James Fann of Abilene; two daughters, Debra Oliver and husband John of Rowlett, TX and Carmen Young and husband David of Odessa, TX; ten grandchildren, Shanna, Rachael, JoAnna, Christy, Aaron, Sarah, Jonathan, Christina, Cynthia and Corey; eight great grandchildren, Zeke, Cope, Vonn, Clayton, Zander, Vivi, Sofi and Sheldon. In addition, Larry is survived by three siblings, Wayne, Jackie and David and GeorgeAnn is survived by five siblings, Ethel, Audie, Eugene, Betty and Bill.
A Memorial Service will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at Hope4Life Church, 3502 Rebecca Lane, Abilene, Texas 79606. In lieu of flowers, donations in Larry and GeorgeAnn's memory can be made to Hope4Life Church, Youth Building Project.

Larry and Georgeann were like my own grandparents. They had that unconditional love that you could feel deep down inside. They were non-judgmental and supporting. I will truly miss them. I love you both granny and oompa, say hi to my Safta Shoshana and grandpa Eddie for me! And say hi to everyone else that I miss including talmadge & shanna!

Our prayers continue to go out to James & all his family. I consider them a part of my family. Georgeann & Larry were parents to me in every way that mattered. We miss them but yet are comforted knowing Dad is singing with the Heavenly Choir & Georgeann is dancing with the Angels. We love you all. God bless & comfort you in your time of need.
