Sincere thanks to Ollie's family members as well, particularly her son-in-law Steve, for being there whenever you were called to help. Your comforting and calming presence were a blessing to Mom.
Olivia filled her quiet time knitting for family members, making helmet liners for our troops with wool donated by Crescent Woolen Mills, and making afghans for veterans. Olivia was very active, swimming a mile every morning. She also enjoyed golfing in leagues in both Two Rivers and Mishicot and visiting out-of-town courses. She particularly enjoyed golfing with her husband, Floyd, followed by relaxing on the patio, reading a book and sipping on old fashions.
