Sending you all our deepest sympathy in the passing of your dear Mom and much loved sister.
Aunt Olive was a sincere and caring person loved by many in our large families, as well as I’m sure a large circle of friends. She will be missed in this world by many yet welcomed by many others in her final resting place, and yes, enjoying those card games.
Cherish your memories of her and may she rest in peace.

Aunt Gert, Last evening a friend of mine told me of Olive’s passing. Needless to say,I was surprised. I have so many nice memories with Olive up on the Line. She was a sweet and caring person who thought so much of everyone.. Loved her game of cards and would stay up playing til the wee hurts. I have several of her recipes that I use a lot. My hesrt goes out to you and Olive’s family. I bet she is up there with Mom and her card buddies enjoying a good game.
Would have liked to attend Olive’s Wake and Service but I really don’t like mixing with people. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Tell everyone hello for me.. Hope you are staying well and keeping safe.
Love you, Angela. xxx????????????✝✝????????????

I was so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I have such great memories of “Aunt Olive & Uncle Gus” when we lived in their basement apt on Pleasantview Ave. Your Mom and Dad were so kind and generous to me and my family. May the memories you have of your mom give you comfort at this time.
Marilyn, Barbara, Jeanette, Aunt Gert, Uncle Art & Family
Sending along Love & sympathies for loss of your precious Mom & Sister.
Aunt Olive will always be near & dear in our hearts as she was in life. There are many wonderful memories from my youth, up to sharing visits with her here in Ottawa, or visiting with her when home., & of course her love for dogs.. Other than health she never seemed to age … always “spiffed up to d’a nines” & looking fabulous Darling!
She’ll be missed by many, yet welcomed by many. Imagine that wonderful reunion with Uncle Gus.
Another one sits at that big card table in heaven, let the games continue …
God speed & Rest In Peace Aunt Olive

All the Haynes Family,
Very sad to hear about the passing of Aunt Olive. My husband (Wade) and I have some very fond memories of Aunt Olive, over the years. From very long ago in Florida at the trailer herself and Uncle Gus had, right by the pool in Pinewood Village, to the fun times at Hodge with the skits and caroling; to more recently .at St. Thomas’ Church. She always had time for a little chat with us.
Wade and I will miss Aunt Olive, but the memories will stay with us forever.
Sincerely, Nancy and Wade Clarke

Sorry to hear of your mom passing.
We have such fond memories of your mom and dad when we visited with them always loved a good joke. They were special to me as I spent so much time there when I was in training.
I have always continued to see your mom each trip I have been home over the years and she had that beautiful smile when she saw me
She enjoyed a good laugh and always looked marvalous dressed so nicely with hair done..
She will be missed especially at a card game
Love to you all
