A Message for My Aunt, Olivia "Turk"

It’s easy to take for granted the time we have with those we love, especially the ones who have always been there.

In our culture, we give nicknames to the nickname. That’s how we claim one another in love. Sometimes you don’t even learn a person’s given name until much later, if ever. But I knew Olivia’s name, and I knew her.

She had a gift for understanding people, for feeling what mattered most. She knew how everyone was doing and where they were in life.

Turk had a playful spirit and a hearty laugh. I can still see her in the driver’s seat, and that proud, radiant smile when I walked out of the DMV with license held high.

She had a strong, commanding voice—to sing “Open Our Eyes” in church or call across the room when you were getting on her nerves.

She was outgoing and talented, good at so many things, even when not everyone saw it. She lived in her own beautiful rhythm.

She loved community and fellowship, much like her dad. She simply understood people—what made them feel seen and how to bring them together. Being with others, sharing stories, laughter, and food, lit her up from the inside and showed us what love in action looks like.

Turk was a prankster and a scaredy-cat all at once, and it made being around her all the more fun.

She loved hard and fully, with all her heart. On Monday, September 29th, I hope she felt an overwhelming peace as she walked into the arms of her Heavenly Father—the One she loved most of all.

Our last photo together was taken during a celebratory occasion. In the moments after our snapshot, we shared an intimate exchange. I caught her mother’s eyes staring back at me, and I felt heartbreak and pride all at once, and deep gratitude that she chose to share it with me.

Rest well, Aunt Turk. You are loved, remembered, and always with us. 

Until we meet again.

We often think we have so much time,but only God knows.Turk you were a rare gem , stubborn, hardheaded at times, but no one loved there family more than you. Sweetie you will be sorely missed. Love you more than you know, Rocky❤️❤️❤️

You will be truly missed May you Rest in peace. My condolences to the family she was a beautiful person. Praying for the family.

My love and condolences to all of her family and friends…I close my eyes and I still hear Olivia’s voice singing with her sisters in perfect harmony…may God continue to bless and comfort all of you.

I wish I could be with you on October 9th to remember and honor Olivia. Olivia was a good friend to all at Dennis School. She worked hard and supported the entire Dennis Family. Her sweet potato pie was a definite favorite! Rest in peace, Olivia.
