Olivia Raby Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 27 to Jun. 30, 2008.
THE HEARTBROKEN parents of a "beautiful" teenager who died during a school rounders game have paid tribute to their "beautiful" daughter. Olivia Raby, 14, died on May 22 after collapsing at St Ambrose Barlow Roman Catholic High School in Swinton. The youngster was a fit and gifted academically and as an athlete - playing school netball and hockey. Olivia's parents, Tracey Raby and Mark Barton said: "We loved Olivia very much and we can't begin to put it into words how we feel. Olivia was a happy and beautiful young daughter with her whole life ahead of her and she will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her. "Olivia gave us 14 wonderful years and no-one can take away the precious memories of our time together. Olivia was not only our daughter but our best friend and she will be forever in our thoughts." Olivia collapsed while playing rounders in a lesson at the school in Shaftesbury Road. An ambulance operator gave resuscitation instructions to a member of staff at the scene over the phone. Paramedics continued to try to save her at the school and on the way to hospital. Head teacher, Marie Garside described Olivia as a "very gifted pupil" not only in terms of academic and athletic ability, but also "in her generosity of spirit and kindness".

Now i didnt know Olivia, but with what i have seen from youtube and others sites is that she was a beautiful girl and will obviously never be forgotten. To be honest reading her story and reading the comments that other people had left for her made me cry. I honestly wish i knew this girl because she sounds like one amazing person
