Obituary For Olive Louise Webber (nee McLean)
The family of Olive Louise Webber is sad to announce her passing on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the age of 100 years.
Olive was born February 13, 1922, in Edmonton, AB, to Jack and Marie McLean. While still a young child, Olive and her family moved to the family farm in Heart Valley, AB, where she and her younger sister attended school. After graduating high school, she returned to Edmonton and attended business college. She later worked at the Royal Bank in Grande Prairie, AB.
At the age of 17, while berry picking with her mother, Olive met her future husband, Clarence Webber. They were married 6 years later. She was a quiet, gentle woman, and a devoted wife and mother to the 6 children they raised on their farm in Heart Valley.
In 1983, they sold the farm and retired to Grande Prairie. Around this time, they bought a motor home and travelled across Canada. They developed a real passion for travelling and camping. They were also very involved with and frequently attended the Grande Prairie Live Theatre, then known as the Little Theatre.
In 2004, Clarence passed away. Olive continued living in their condo, during which time she did some local as well as international travelling, including cruises with friends and family. Later she moved into Emerald Gardens for a few years and then spent her final days in Prairie Lake Seniors Community.
The care staff at both Emerald Gardens, and Prairie Lakes Seniors Community often commented on how sweet she was and that it was a pleasure to have her there.
Olive is lovingly remembered by her children: Marilyn (Les) Peebles, Garnet (Darlene) Webber, Allen (Bev) Webber, Lorraine Langlois, Ronald (Sharon) Webber, and Cathy (Chris) Mackenzie; 13 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; as well as 2 great great-grandchildren.
