The success of our Olympians is dependent on their village of support. Our village consists of volunteers and professionals from all walks of life and many industries. Each year, they give their time and resources to ensure that our Olympians have the best opportunity for local and national success.

In our thirty plus year history many have come and gone and a few have passed on. We want to extend our condolences to the family of Ms. Olivia Douglas and express our thanks for the time she spent as a member of our team. We are eternally grateful for her time spent with us. She like so many of our volunteers left a memorable, indelible mark on us. She will be missed, yet her memory cherished.

Service details have been provided below by The Mortuary Masters at Tree of Life Funeral Directors, LLC.
