I will always love you Olivia! I couldn't have asked for a better great-aunt other than your sister Carrie! I wish I hadn't lived so far away from you because I would have been able to see you and the rest of the family more often... I love you Great Aunt Olivia and may God Bless You!

Oliva was a great lady.  I am sure everyone who had any contact with her will agree. It was good to see her last July even thou it was the last time. She was my godmother and always kept in touch with me. My dad Ray was Andy's brother and mom (Hortense Schuler) was Olivia's cousin. Our sympathy goes to all who have been close to her, especially Caroline and George.

What a great lady God has called to Celebrate a New Life. Although I did not realize it when she taught me in 3rd and 4th grade, I came to understand the life lessons she provided me were not measureable. Thank you Mrs. Korb.

Olivia was a great teacher of basic reading, writing and arthmetic as well as the lessons of life.  She was my 3rd and 4th grade teacher in the mid 50's.  I remember her classroom was a serious place for learning and behavior was important.  Misbehavior brought consequences!! She could leave a lasting impression on her students.   She loved to teach and share her knowledge.  I and Dennis stopped to visit during the 1999 school reunion and she was as gracious as ever.   God blessed her life with students. My prayers are offered for her family.

Our condolences in the passing of Aunt Olivia.  Olivia is my mother (Angie's) sister.  I remember so many, many family gatherings in Olivia and Andy's garage - what fun times they were.  Although I have tried to get to the funeral, circumstances have prevented my travel at this time.  I am with you in spirit.  I am sure Andy is waiting for Olivia with open arms. 

Colleen and Phil Kiko

I've enjoyed exchanging Christmas cards with Olivia, including Christmas '09.  My dad, Wilfred, was Andy's brother.  My sympathy to family of Olivia.
