Ollie was a kind lady who often shared lunch with a group of Holy Family parishioners at the Pembina Village Restaurant, which some of the group referred to simply as "The Greek" from the Greek owners and food. We were saddened to hear of Ollie's illness and missed her company. Reminiscing about her with one of her cousins today.

Olive and I became friends since our school days at Lord Selkirk. We often joked since she was 1 day older! We kept in touch through our friendship and her marriage within my family. Olive was warm, generous and friendly. I will cherish the memories and friendship we had for so long. Our prayers to her children and grandchildren. - Posted by: Lillian Murk (Friend since our school days.) on: Aug 10, 2019
