Moving to Vancouver at the age of twenty-one, her intention was to work her way back across Canada. It didn’t take long for Olive to find something was missing in her life. As she searched for deeper meaning to life, she was introduced to Jesus Christ who then became her Saviour and Lord. Her Christian walk since then has included writing worship songs and songs from scripture.
Through the years she became unwell and eventually developed Lupus and Fibromyalgia. The debilitating pain which resulted led her to cry out to God to either ‘take her home’ or heal her. A turn of events brought her through an adventure in prayer which eventually brought her complete healing from both diseases. In the process, she has become a leader in her church, both in worship and in ministry.
Olive writes about grief from personal experience, having lived through seventeen years of sickness and the loss of several people whom she loved. Drawing from both her nursing experience and prayer adventure, she writes about characters who are down to earth in their faith-walk. Her writing encourages those who desire a closer walk with God but are not sure how to get there.
Olive currently works full time as a nurse in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. She lives with her husband of thirty-one years, and recently-adopted cats. Their three children, a son and twin daughters, have grown up and are all pursuing careers of their own.view less
