Mom loved to travel and especially enjoyed her trips to see family in Edmonton and Dallas. Whytewold and Grand Beach will always hold very special memories. Family and friends were Olive's passion and delight. She loved to host and entertain. Mom especially enjoyed spending time with her three wonderful grandsons. Mom, "Coggie", Nana - we will miss you so very much. Thank you for your love, guidance, trust and wisdom - we will carry all those attributes with us for the rest of our lives. May God bless and take care of you now, until we meet again. At Olive's request, cremation has taken place.
