Olie always attended chapel services at the Rosedale Nursing Home where I serve as chaplain. She was beloved by all the other residents and staff. We will all miss her sweet and cheerful personality. I know that I will see her again someday in heaven.

We have known Miss Ollie for all our life. She and my mom were Girl Scout leaders together ( Mrs. Lois Mitchell). Miss Ollie always was a kind, soft spoken, enjoyable person to be around. Now that they are both back together I know that they will again be singing in that choir in the sky. R I P Miss Ollie we will never forget you.

I knew Miss Ollie for a brief period, but what a wonderful person she was. She loved and cared about people, more than herself, for years. Many told me about her self sacrificing love for young people. Many on Church Hill remember her wonderful deeds of kindness. That is what life is all about, to touch other lives in a positive,loving way. Miss Ollie did that and she. Will be rewarded for it.
