Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sun City Center Funeral Home on Feb. 17, 2026.
Olive passed away peacefully at LifePath Hospice in Sun City Center, FL on February 4, 2026. She was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA and graduated from Frankford High School. She was married to the love of her life, Bill, for 64 years.

In her younger years she was a fashion model and a competitive water skier. She and Bill were avid golfers. Olive loved to entertain and every task was done to perfection. She was a great cook and her Christmas cookies were legendary treats. She was a loving caregiver to many. She loved her family. She enjoyed her friends at Aston Gardens Courtyards and loved Sunday bingo.

She is survived by family Tom (Bonnie) Grabowski of Gulf Shores, AL.; Linda Kolling of Sun City Center, FL; and many more family and friends who will miss her greatly.

She will be laid to rest with her husband on March 11, 2026 at 10:00am at Sarasota National Cemetery in Sarasota, FL.
