Olive has been a special part of our lives since arriving in Lady Elizabeth. She has been a valued & treasured friend to Maureen & has always been there with a smile & a hug, or just someone to sit & hold her hand even when Maureen didn't recognize her & Olive was unwell herself.
I also was greeted In the same way & we had lots of chats & laughs together - she brightened up the room wherever she went.
Olive will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and love go to all the family on the loss of a very special lady

We have loving memories of Aunty Olive. Always lively and vivacious; she loved life, her family and friends. Renowned for her chocolate chippie biscuits! She is fondly remembered by her nieces Lynne, Karen and families.
