Olive was one of my supervisors when I worked part time in the Shoe Department at Eatons. I remember her fondly for her great sense of humour and her kind guidance and patience when dealing with "the young people" working in the department. My most sincere condolences to her family. - Posted by: Val Bishop (Co-Worker) on: May 30, 2005

Olive and I started the ladies shoe dept in Polo Park in 1969. She was my right hand and taught me {with laughter and goodwill} how to be patient and sincere. We were a very good team. She will be directing the angel choir above. Roger & Mona & family - Posted by: roger leonard (Acquaintance) on: May 30, 2005
