Olivia was a brilliant math professor at The University of Oklahoma and had authored and co-authored 3 math textbooks published by Saxon Publishing of Norman, OK. She was a wonderful and expressive free spirit. She lived in Norman, OK for many years and later moved back to Oklahoma City. She was a great conversationalist and rode a bicycle into advanced age and seemed agile and healthy. She was a fan of coffee from Dunkin Donuts and often rode her bicycle there. She offered wisdom and encouragement to folks that got to know her.
