Olive J. Neuse "Ollie"

Olive Johnston Neuse left this life to be in eternal happiness with Jesus Christ on Saturday, September 10, 2011. Olive was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on March 31, 1923. She was preceded in death by her parents, L.C. Johnston, Sr. and Blanch (Purvis) Johnston, husband Harry Neuse, and grandmother, Blanch (Nanna) Johnston, who lovingly raised her. Olive was a graduate of Brackenridge High School and entered nurse training at New Braunfels City Hospital in January 1940 and retired after forty years of dedicated service from Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio in June 1981. She was a faithful member of Highland Park Lutheran Church, where she was active in the Women of the Church, Bible Studies, The Retirees Group, delivered Meals on Wheels, and always helped out wherever needed. She was also a member of AARP, Chapter 1045 and NARFE #1594, and Order of the Sons of Hermann Vineta Lodge #15. Her survivors include her sister, Betty Jo Thrash, sister, Mary Lou Anderson and husband Arthur, and brother The Rev. Dr. L. C. Johnston, Jr., and wife Evelyn. She is survived by many nieces and nephews who dearly loved their "Aunt Ollie." Olive spent the last seven years as a resident of Chandler Health Care System, where she referred to the staff as part of her family. Her family thanks the nurses and staff for the exceptional care given to her. She loved you.
