It is with great sadness that the family of Olive Edna Croft, 67, of Lunenburg announces her passing on Sunday, November 30, 2014 at the QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax. Born in Belloram, Newfoundland, she was the daughter of the late, Phillip and Anne (Poole) Savory. Olive wore many hats during her life, including working at the Grand Banker, but most important of which was raising her family. Active within her community she was a member of St. John's Anglican Church, the Local "TOPS" Club and an avid Bowler.

She will also be especially missed by her special friend Reid. Olive was predeceased by her husband, Perry; sisters, Clarissa, Eleanor, Rhoda, Winnie and Jessie and brothers, Jim and Emanuel and great granddaughter, Annabelle.

Friends are invited to share their memories of Olive with her family at the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213 Hwy. # 3, Lunenburg during visitation on Wednesday from 7 - 9 pm. A Memorial Service to celebrate Olive's life will be held Thursday at 2:00 p.m. in St. John's Anglican Church, Lunenburg, Archdeacon Michael Mitchell, officiating. Interment will be in Hillcrest Cemetery, Lunenburg. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the Q.E. II (Halifax Infirmary) for their compassionate care shown to Olive.
