Olive was an avid wind chime collector (even hanging them inside her home!) as well as spending time inside the beautiful Cathedral. Most of all, Olive loved the times spent with her husband, Ivan. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Olive will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Jennifer Howe and Sherryl Lanigan; sons, Eddy Connolly and Chris Brooks; step-children, Kim Muise, Tracey Howe, Sharron Stone, Ivan Howe Jr., John Howe and Rick Howe; sister, Ella Gogan; and brother, Frank Chandler.

In addition to her parents and husband, Olive was predeceased by her step-son, Billy Howe.
