Olive Fowler Obituary
Ollie built a noteworthy career as an executive secretary with the World Bank in McLean, Virginia, and upon retiring, she and her husband, Sydney, settled in Pittsburgh to be closer to family. She was predeceased by her husband, Sydney Fowler, and her daughter, Sydney Diane Stuart, and is survived by her sons, Douglas and Peter, five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. Ollie was a master cook, world traveler, enjoyed ice skating well into her 80's, and was a devoted bridge player. She was well-loved and amazed everyone (including herself) that she made it to 1-0-4. Her presence and zest for life will be deeply missed.
