Tributes

The coolest Great Aunt! I always loved Aunty Olive…such an amazing lady who I really didn’t spend as much time with as I would’ve liked! She’s also been a special connection for me to my Nana (Zena), her sister, since she passed away in 2008. What an incredible life of service and love, leaving an inspirational legacy.
