Olga was born March 13, 1915, in Minot, N.D., the daughter of Charles A. and Grace (Allen) Garvey. She spent her early life and attended schools in Minot, graduating from Minot High School in 1933. She attended college for one year in McPherson, Kan., and then at Kinman Business College in Spokane, Wash., for two years.
She then moved to Livingston, where she worked as a bookkeeper for Livingston Laundry. She met Don Fraser and they were married Feb. 15, 1942, in Livingston. Don entered the U.S. Army Air Corps and the couple lived at various locations throughout the southern United States while he received his cadet training. When he was assigned overseas, Olga moved back to Minot, where she lived until his discharge in the mid-1940s, when they returned to Livingston. She worked for the Yardley Agency for many years, retiring in the early 1970s. Don Fraser died in December of 2005. Olga moved to Billings early this year to be near her daughter.
