We are so sorry to hear of Ollie's passing, from the Conway Inter Church Housing board. She will be missed. She was a gentle, sweet spirit that all who knew her, loved. Our sympathy at this most difficult time.
Ollie was a true lady. She worked with my late husband, Harold Sturgis. I always found her to be friendly and helpful. In recent times I visited with her at College Square. Those who knew her are now left with fond memories. I hope that her loved ones can find comfort in the positive life that she lived.
Tena,
Your mother was wonderful person, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Suellen
