She obtained her education in Hancock County Public Schools. She joined Hickory Grove Baptist Church at an early age and served faithfully until relocating to Gwinnett and DeKalb County.
Ms. Oliver's passion was her family and she will be remembered by her wonderful food, warm smile and pleasant disposition. Ms. Oliver's past-times were watching Braves baseball games, fishing and listening to those good old blues.
