Olivia worked as a medical billing and coding specialist for a number of years. She attended True Love Baptist church.
She wanted to be remembered as "a strong black woman from the time I was born and that I am a stickler for education and a God fearing woman."
Funny movies and her great grandchildren always made her laugh and brought a smile to her face.
Olivia's proudest family moments include watching her grandchildren graduate and any family birthday.
She hopes others have learned to be loving and understanding, patient, and to live by their own truths.
Olivia's favorite color was brown. Her hobbies included working puzzles and word games as well as watching classic movies such as White Christmas.
The thing she loved most were her children and finally she would like to be remembered as a good person.
