He was preceded in death by his devoted partner and wife Genevieve, and his precious daughter, Deborah. We take comfort knowing they are united once again . . . 'well done My good and faithful servants'. The family later moved to rural Canova, SD where Oliver graduated from Canova High School. Shortly after Pearl Harbor Oliver served in the 45th Infantry Division of the US Army. Following basic training he was shipped to North Africa and later fought in the invasion of Sicily and then on to the Italian mainland. In July of 1943, his machine gun squad was trapped behind enemy lines near Salerno, Italy. The Nazis captured all nine members of his squad and Oliver endured 19 months as a POW in Germany and finally in Poland. His heroic and inspirational story is recorded in his book, 'Prisoner of War Number 21860'. After the war, Oliver returned to the United States with a passion to honor God, the American flag and country. He returned to the family farm where one very memorable day he knew the Lord was calling him into full-time ministry. Soon after, Oliver married Genevieve Palmquist and with her encouragement, attended the University of South Dakota and graduated from Bethel Seminary, St. Paul, MN. For more than six decades, Oliver and Genevieve served side-by-side in ministry touching many lives with the gospel message. Oliver fervently preached the Word of God and Genevieve blessed everyone with her beautiful voice. Even in Oliver's last days he read daily out of his collection of Bibles and devotionals, listened to his favorite Christian broadcasts and news programs and faithfully prayed for each family member and other concerns the Lord laid on his heart. Oliver lived out his life verse: 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.'(Matthew 6:33) Oliver's Christian devotion and energy for life will be missed by all. Oliver faithfully served the Lord in churches in SD, WI, MI, and NE. Amazingly, he was still pastoring Cornerstone Evangelical Church in Yankton, SD, at the age of 95, until his health began to fail and he moved to Sioux Falls to live with his son Darrell. Oliver is survived by his sons: Darrell (Susan) and Dwight (Judy) Omanson; son-in-law: Mike Stevens (Linda); grandchildren: Charity, Micah (Darrell), Sophie, Sadie (Deborah), Jason, Jessica, Tiffany, Heidi and Haley (Dwight), six great-grandchildren and his brother: Vurl Omanson. There will be a private family interment at Sun Prairie Baptist Church Cemetery. We look forward to celebrating Oliver's life at a special memorial service this spring. Kinzley Funeral Home, Salem, SD, is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be sent to the Christian charity or church of your choice.
