Olive STODDARD Obituary

Olive you were one of a kind.
A real trooper and will always have a spot in my heart.
Rest in peace Olive you will never be alone again. xx

For many years Olive was a wonderful supporter of Mobility Dogs. She was keen to see our Puppies in Prison programme at the Wiri prison. What a joy for everyone involved to take her into prison in her 90's! She had morning tea with the ladies and spent time with her namesake Mobility Dog Olive. You will always be woven into the fabric of our Trust Olive. We remember you with love and gratitude.

Olive became a dear and admired friend while I was visiting my father in the rest home. Her years of compassion, kindness and generosity echoed through our conversations.
It was an honour and a privilege to spend time with Olive and I will fondly remember the inspiration she gave me as a very special friend.
Always with an enormous hug, Sarah.

You are not too old and its not too late!
Olive first joined BodyTech 20 years ago at the age of 82. BodyTech is the only gym she's ever set foot in. She loves the supervision that members receive on the Supervised Circuit. She has been a regular BodyTech gym user all throughout her membership. She proudly on more than one occasion has mentioned to me, Ive never been a drain on the taxpayers money. Olive is definitely one of my role models. Even more amazing, she loves giving back to the community, through helping out at her local church, donating her time in the past to collecting for the Blind, SPCA etc. I only hope that I too will be as agile both mentally and physically when I enter my nonagenarian stage.

I truly have the utmost love and respect for this woman! Forever strong throughout her life - facing many adversities and never giving up! They don't make them like this anymore. Miss your zest for life . Love you Olive xoxo
