Olive was of the Methodist faith. Family was everything to her to Olive. She was once asked, “what decades were the best years of your life?” She said, “All of them. I’ve had a great life. I never understood families that fight with their kids. Family is the most important thing in life.” She refurbished lamps and enjoyed collecting antiques and going to flea markets.

She was a lifetime resident of Huntingdon County.
