Olivia Manwiller

Olivia was born October 6, 1997 in Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota to Michael and Helena Manwiller. Olivia was the second child, whose siblings were Tyler and Hannah. Growing up in Colorado Springs, they loved to travel, especially to Disneyland and Disney World, the beach, and competitive cheer. Olivia won the Colorado HS State Championship as a student athlete in cheer. She also won the Colorado HS State Championship four times as a coach in cheer. Olivia won Nationals in All-Star Cheer at Disney World as an athlete.

Olivia travelled to: Disneyland, Disney World, Cancun, Cabo, Costa Rica, Paris, Barcelona, Iceland, London, the Maldives, Niagara Falls when it was frozen, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, the Cayman Islands, Qatar, Vancouver, and was on a 15-hour flight from Paris to Vancouver.

Olivia lived in South Dakota, Delaware, and Colorado. She also traveled extensively. In the Maldives, Olivia swam with giant manta rays in the wild. In Cancun, Olivia swam with whale sharks and giant manta rays in the wild. In the Cayman Islands, Olivia swam with stingrays in the wild. In Cabo, Olivia was off her jet ski to swim and a shark swam under and chased stingrays that kept flying up in the air trying to escape. Olivia has also skydived. Olivia rappelled waterfalls in Costa Rica, and one of them was almost 100 feet. She zip-lined through the jungle and one section was almost half of a mile over a jungle valley. She hung out with monkeys in the wild. Olivia also turned 21 in Las Vegas. Olivia earned an AS in Science from Pikes Peak State College.

The point is, Olivia was only 27 but experienced more life than most people ever will. She embraced every moment and was the best person to experience life with. And those that experienced those moments with her know who we are. We loved her and cherished all those memories and have a great loss with our best person to experience life. Some moments listed were early in her life. But all those experiences were also when she was 16-27 years old. She lived so much in a short period of time. She is loved and missed more than words can say.

Olivia is survived by Michael Manwiller, Helena Manwiller, Tyler Manwiller, Hannah Manwiller, and Nikita Breslin.
