I also met Olive through the Central Congregational Church Choir. I was an alto/tenor and was always greeted with a smile from Olive. I was a teenager at the time, but she always treated me as a member of her family. I live down the street and had the opportunity to see her just in the last few months when Happy snuck away. He decided he wanted to run up Cherry St with me. May God bless your family.

Olive and I met when were members of Central Congregational Church Choir. Olive and I stood next to each other in the soprano section. She was also a neighbor. We became close and shared many things in common. I will miss seeing her about town. You were very fortunate to have her as a family member. God bless you and keep you.

I have known Olive for many years, My Mom and Dad lived right next door to her, and since My husband and I purchase my Mom and Dad's home,Olive has been my next door neigbor. She was and always will be a sweetheart. She will be sadly missed . She always knew me as Penny.
