From the day I met her at Fort Mill High School I liked
Ollie and we began a friendship. Later in life, we worked together at FM Middle. She was a wonderful influence on every student and always had their best interest in her job and in ways she helped them personally. Ollie was quick to lend a hand to help anyone in the building if they needed or asked for her help. I was blessed to have been her friend. "Ginny C Buchanan
