Olivia Tavares Obituary

Our beautiful daughter Olivia Marrie Tavares passed away Friday, July 28, 2017, in a car accident. She was traveling home with her Grandma and cousins, when the car rolled. Olivia, along with her grandma (Cindy Boone) and cousin (Lexi Minish) all passed away together. Olivia's two other younger cousins, who were in the car, survived and are recovering from their injuries. She was attending Madison Junior High as an eighth grader.
Anyone who knew Olivia will never forget her infectious smile and her goofball humor. She was very smart, too smart for her own good. She excelled in school (when she wanted to). She loved to cook; her apple pies were the best. Her favorite food is anything with pasta, and she loved her Aunt Katie's frosting. She was artistic and loved art. She was great with kids. She has always had a motherly instinct and loved being around children. She had a great sense of humor and loved making people laugh. Olivia was a Girl Scout for 7 years and loved her friends and leaders.
Olivia was a member of the LDS faith and loved going to Young Women's activities. Her leaders made such a strong impact on her as well as her fellow young women (even if they did talk too much). She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. She was a great daughter, sister, cousin and friend.
She is survived by her parents, Scott and Nikki Tavares, of Rexburg; her sister, Kora Tavares; and her brothers, Andrew and Shaun Tavares.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, at the LDS church building at 389 Mariah Ave. in Rexburg. The family will receive friends Thursday evening from 5:30-7 p.m. at Flamm Funeral Home in Rexburg and Friday from 12-12:45 p.m. at the church prior to services. Interment will be in the Rexburg Cemetery. Condolences may be sent online to the family at www.flammfh.com.
We love you so very much Olivia!

Olivia was an amazing friend. My favorite memory was everytime I saw her walking down the hall we would pretend to high five but then dab. We would always laugh. Olivia the hardest though.

One of my other favorite memories was in science 6th grade. We were dissecting a gold fish and Olivia couldn't do it. She was laughing so hard for a reason that I couldn't understand. So I got a some one else to do it for her because she was still on a laughing fit :)

Olivia has a beautiful smile that could cheer up anyone. IT was great to see her smiling all the time. It always made my day. My sincere condolences to Olivia's family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
