Olivia Pratt is the daughter of Mary Ann Frost and Parley P. Pratt.

On the 15th of February, 1857, Olivia was married to Benjamin Woodbury Driggs, a promising young man of that community, the ceremony being performed by Elder Orson Hyde. Brother Driggs had also spent his youthful days in Nauvoo, where his father, Shadrach F. Driggs, lived and maintained a large wagon shop. At the fitting out for the "move," Shadrach F. Driggs built dozens of wagons, the iron work of which was done by Martin H. Pick.

This young bridegroom had recently returned from southern California, where he had been employed by Amasa Lyman and Charles C. Rich. Benjamin W. Driggs became one of the leading businessmen of Utah county. He was an officer in the militia and took an active part in the Black Hawk and other Indian troubles. Benjamin W. and Olivia made their permanent home in Pleasant Grove. To them twelve children were born, six of whom survive them: Benjamin Woodbury Driggs Jr., Ella Olivia Driggs, Luna Belle Driggs, Don Carlos Driggs, Parley Shadrach Driggs, Florence Marion Driggs, Leland Monroe Driggs, Beatrice Lillian Driggs, Grace Edith Driggs, Alice Vivian Driggs, Rintha Blanche Driggs and William King Driggs.

The Driggs home, in Pleasant Grove, was a social center for both old and young, and Sister Olivia was never happier than when she was extending hospitality to her friends and neighbors. In this immaculate home, there were music and books; and it was here that the young people of the community loved to gather to rehearse concerts, dramas, and other forms of community amusements; and in which the daughters of the home were capable and talented leaders. Sister Olivia herself, joined in all the plans and ambitions of the young people, and was their constant inspiration. For many years she was a member of the old folks' committee, as well as an active Relief Society teacher in the ward. She died at her home in Pleasant Grove, Tuesday morning, June 12, 1906, aged sixty-five years.
