Bertha Clovis Thompson Olin

Pat was born in Steppville, AL on October 9, 1920. In 1942 she became the bride of Raymond C. Olin, who preceded her in death. She had three brothers, Ray, Casey, Alex, and one dear sister, Bonnie Vincent.

Pat is survived by her beloved daughter, Charlotte Diemer Rambin (Lee) of Houston, TX; grandson, Butch Diemer (Kirsten) of Seattle, WA; five great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; best friend and niece, Ruth V. Chapman (Babe); two very special nieces, Donna Chapman Powers and Patti Chapman Griffin (Dr. Frank); great-nieces, Ameila Powers Battle (Donald) and Nicole Bullock Watkins (Chris); and many loving great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews, all from Hoover, AL.

A life-long resident of Birmingham, AL, Pat attended Birmingham's most historical Powell School. She also worked at Golden Flake until she retired after 20 years. She lived the last 15 years in Houston, TX with her daughter and son-in-law.

Pat loved the University of Alabama football team and could hardly wait until football Saturdays so she could cheer for her team. She loved Texas, the blue bonnets, and the vastness of the Lone Star State. Pat will be loved and missed greatly but we know the Lord has her hand now.
