It is with deep sadness that the family of Olive Laird announce her passing on November 4th at Tudor Manor in Okotoks AB. Olive will be forever missed by her husband Bill, (her rock), as they were together for 70 years and married for 65 years. She will also always be remembered by her son Robert William and his family as well as her daughter Diane Elizabeth and her family. Olive loved the Lord and is now resting and at home with Him. Olive and Bill were blessed with four grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She was born in Winnipeg, MB to Anna and Jacob Boldt and was the youngest of seven, three brothers and four sisters. When Olive first entered the work world she found employment with Great West Life. After her children arrived Olive devoted her time to being a homemaker and a loving mom. After her children were grown she enjoyed working at Sears catalogue sales in Portage. As a result of Bill’s position with Manitoba Hydro, Olive and Bill lived in many communities in the province of Manitoba and formed many lifelong friendships. She was a loving person to all and a steadying influence with her family. A Memorial Service was held on Friday, November 10th, 2017 at the Evangelical Free Church located at 28 Westland Rd, Okotoks AB T1S 1T2.
