To Ollie’s family:
What can we say about Ollie but what everyone else is saying. She was one of a kind. She was a member of the R E Pooley Legion Ladies Auxiliary for 60 years. Always ready to help in any way she could and always with a story and deep laugh. Sometimes very opinionated, but stood behind her words. “to my way of thing” she would say.
RIP Ollie

My sympathy to the entire Ferguson families… many memories shared over the years. Our parents shared so many fun times and always loved how your Mom would always refer to my Dad as “ Coulter” … they had many a good time! I also recall stopping in Florida to visit them one winter many years ago… and our last visit was few years back when your Mom stopped in at cottage in Goderich and shared many laughs ❤️
My mom Eleanor sends her love … Ollie’s spunk, sense of humour and friendship is treasured RIP
Hugs
