For nearly 14yrs I had the privilege of cleaning for Olive every week. What began as a little job quickly became more special. Each visit came with warmth, wisdom & another remarkable story from a life so richly lived. Always insisting that I take a break with a coffee & biscuit chat.
At 98yrs young she carried nearly a century of experience with grace & dignity. She spoke proudly of her time in the WRNS serving her country with strength & resilience. She shared memories of the WI, community & friendships & spoke particularly of her passion for teaching & how much she cared for the children.
She was kind, gentle & caring & no matter how she was feeling she would always ask about my life, she listened, she encouraged & made me feel valued.
I will always treasure the Mondays filled with her memories, her laughter & her wisdom & it was an honour to have know her.
She leaves behind a legacy of not only history but of kindness & grace & I will miss her dearly . Rest in a peace sweet Olive - Vivienne xx
