Throughout her life she had worked at many restaurants including Brae Loch Country Club and The Helm Club on the Great Lakes Naval base, she truly loved working with people. Many of Olive's passions included puzzles, crocheting, crafts, gardening, being a Cubs fan, cooking, and baking (especially pies for her family).
