Called Home by God on June 28, 2025. Cherished longtime companion of Mark Wenger. Much loved sister of Theresa (Harry) Schramm, Millie (Tom) Wears, and John (Cindy) Olmstead. Cece was proceeded in death by her parents, Samuel Carter and Eleanor Jane (Ahern) Olmstead of Ballwin, MO; her brother, Paul, and her ex-husband Randy Davis. She was an aunt, a great aunt, and a friend to countless others.
Cece came to Columbia as a student and chose to make her life there. She worked in grocery stores, first at Gerbes and then at HyVee, and was very proud of being able to work through the entire pandemic in that essential industry. She did many beautiful needlepoint designs, and when she couldn't do that anymore she did color by number designs. Her biggest loves were the Coca Cola shows and train shows she went to with Mark, and she was an avid collector of all things Coca Cola, trains, and Tigger.
As was her wish, Cece is being cremated. A graveside ceremony is being held at Memorial Cemetery on Wednesday, July 9, at 11:00am.
