She was a beautiful woman who worked hard all her life. She lived for her family and the day she could be at rest. She will be greatly missed by the staff at Farmville Healthcare

Ms. Olivia was a very beautiful person that I will always remember. It was a pleasure getting to know her during the time I worked at FHC as Social Worker. May the peace that only God can give be with you.

Mrs. Olivia loved Jesus and her family with all her heart. She was a loving, giving Christian lady with a "sweet, sweet smile". My roses may not last as long (outside), but she will still get some of them. Angie Tugwell

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Ms. Livvie was a very wonderful woman. She always was so kind to my daughters when they visited her with Ms. Joyce. She will be greatly missed. Heaven got a little brighter when she came home.
