On December 12, 2016 an angel was taken to Heaven, she had her beautiful wings on and left us.
Octavia Ackerman was born on January 25, 1986 to Stanley Ackerman and Lori Burshia. She died on December 12, 2016 at Billings Clinic.
Octavia was a woman who lived her life to the fullest, she loved to go play machines and ride around with her friends and listen to music. She loved to make people laugh and she loved the Lord. If Octavia saw someone down she would always try to put a smile on their face, she tried to make people happy. She was very outspoken and would say what was on her mind. God gave this woman that gift to talk to anyone.
Octavia loved her children with all her heart which were her treasures, Zander Ackerman, Zayden Hentges, and Kassidy Hentges. She also loved her husband Kevin Hentges, even though they had their differences, he was always the one she loved.
Octavia had an adopted mother who lives in Billings (Billy Miller) who she loved very much. Octavia also had adopted parents (Dana and Bill RunsAbove) whom she called Mom and Dad. They really thought a lot of her because she was a very caring person and always came to them for advice. She also had a special auntie Jewel Fourstar Ackerman.
Octavia would always tell her family members she loved them when she saw them; her sisters Cassandra, Katie, Catrina, and Gretchen Ackerman and one brother Stanley Ackerman, Jr. all from Houston, TX.
Octavia had many aunties, uncles, nieces and nephews too many to mention but she loved them all.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents Wilbert and Isabelle Ackerman, Minnie Tedrow, nephews Gabriel Ackerman, Gabriel Garza, uncles Joseph Burshia, Aaron Burshia and Douglas Runsthrough, Sr.

Thank you Oct for giving me 18 years of true friendship. We have so many memories, too many to share. A piece of my heart went missing the day the Lord called you home. You will be forever in my heart. I love you so much. Prayers to her 3 beautiful children, her family, her husband and all of her other friends.

Octavia was a large part of my life she was a sister to me and my mother was her mother. She was my best friend we had our fights but always made up with a hug and letting each other know that we loved each other. She always had a home at my house and she knew it. Nobody could say anything about my kids cause she would be on the fight lol I had to tell her to let things go,and she did she was a person that always forgave everyone no matter how badly she was hurt by them. She loved her mother and father sisters and brother like crazy and she did miss them all over in Texas daily her heart was over flowing with love for her many niece’s and nephews and she couldn’t love her children more. She always wanted me to be happy she will be dearly missed by me and all in my family we loved her I’m so glad we had the chance to tell her and show her every time we saw her.

Octavia was my cousin but not only was she my family she was more then that ,to me she meant alot more then being cousins she was my sister. I know we rarely hung out bUT when we did it was always when I needed her the most,and hopefully vise versa.She always knew how to keep me laughing even when things to worse we put our heads together n BAM! IT was like everything rolled out because she knew I had her back n she had mine. The last thing I remember saying to her was which very few get to do to their loved ones,is I told her goodnight,I love u n a kiss on the cheek we hugged n that was my goodbye the last thing on this earth I said to her. I didn’t know that she got sick a couple days later didn’t hear about it until after her time with us on earth before her new beginning in the other life. I found out that she was trying to get a hold of me n I wonder what or why she stopped out at my house for that quick minute or even if she did,I’m not sure that’s just what 1 of my family membets said,but I sure do miss her a lot n sometimes I think I still hear her but when I was told that she had died I started getting skeptical saying no that’s not true that’s BS,but then I read on fb n called some ppl up n it broke my heart I started crying n was upset. I just wanted to say to the family that yes I knew Octave she meant a lot to me n am truly going to miss her ALWAYS! BUY I know she’s at a better place on a new journey n I LOVE U CUZ U REALLY DID BRIGHTEN N WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED U MOST N sometimes when I didn’t know but u truly did open my eyes to things n stuff that I wasn’t aware of. Crazy in a sense but I love u CUZ n miss u,insane how the world works n I send prayers with u to take on ur new journey. Love always Isabel ‘Izz’ Dawn Sharp

I am so sorry for your loss. It is always difficult to lose a loved one in death, but it is especially tragic to lose them at such a young age, Please take comfort in knowing that death is only a temporary part of life. (John 5:28,29) Although your time with Octavia was far too short, you can have the hope of being reunited with him forever, under perfect circumstances. (Revelation 21:4) In the meantime, even though the pain may at times seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure. (Psalm 94:17-19) Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences.

I will always have you in my heart. My dear friend we will meet again. I’m sorry I found out 3 years later. My dear I will never ever forget you. From the day you walked into my life and knocked on my door to introduce yourself as my new neighbor I knew we would have a beautiful friendship. You left a imprint on my heart forever. Still in shock, and I know you will say, girl don’t cry, but it’s hard not to when you are not here. Bless your soul, rest now my dear. You will be deeply and sadly missed.
