Through the years, she's been known to many people as Mom, Olivia, Ollie, Olive, OJ, and even Nana and Nan. She will forever be in our hearts and always remembered for her delicate love of life and finding beauty in perfection. 'To live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die!'
Interment will take place at St. Stephen's Cemetery of Batavia.
