1926-2021
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Olive Frances Manley in her 95th year. Beloved wife of the late Stephen William Manley for 64 years. Cherished mother of Gary Manley (Cathy) London, Marlene (Kevin Hale) Naples Fla. Michele (Dr Chris Wherrett) Ottawa; adoring grandmother to Todd Gilbert (Tammy), Jeffrey Gilbert (Wendy), Christopher Manley (Gillian), Jennifer Manley, Alexander and Stephen Wherrett: loving great-grandmother to Tanner, Victoria, Payton, Ireland, Dustin, Hannah and Liam. Olive born in London is predeceased by her parents William and Nora Petrie and her siblings: Lorne, Jack, Glen, William, Kenneth, Lenore, and Burton.
There was a timeless beauty about Olive, and a smile as warm and welcoming as a summer day. Those who knew her were struck by both during her long and pleasing life. Olive was beautiful inside and out.
She was crowned a beauty queen in the late 1940s, and the ease and charm of her smile forever captivated the affection of all those around her. They certainly caught the eye and attention of her husband Steve.
The two were a natural fit. They were taught to play golf by two of Olive’s six brothers and enjoyed the game well into their eighties. Both loved the game, but only Olive sank a hole-in-one, back in 1964 at Sunningdale Golf CC in London. They also enjoyed the many friends they made at Maple City Golf & CC in Chatham ON.
A private family service will be held later. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lymphoma Canada . Special thanks to Dr Ruth Farey for her compassionate care, and to the staff at Lord Lansdowne, Ottawa.
