The passing of Olive Irene O’Donnell of Fredericton occurred on June 2nd 2023 at York Care Center. Born December 28, 1933 in Clarenden, NB, she was the daughter of the late William H. and Hilda G. (Muir) Sinnett.  Her husband Harold Frank O’Donnell predeceased her on August 16, 2014.

Olive was a dedicated and faithful member of Capital Community Church and was actively involved in her church for many years.  Olive worked in the retail business for a number of years working with fabric and was noted for her sewing abilities. A gifted seamstress, many a bride and bridesmaid will recall Olive making that perfect dress. Olive also enjoyed working outdoors especially in her flower gardens.

Olive prayed faithfully for her family who admired her devotion and love she so easily displayed in each of their lives. Forever treasuring her memory are her four children, Stephen O’Donnell (Sherie) of Burlington, Ont., Carol-Joy McFadyen (Rick) of New Maryland, Dale O’Donnell (Nicole) of Fredericton and Kelty O’Donnell of Fredericton. Olive cherished the time spent with her five adored grandchildren, Aaron (Julie) and Alisha McFadyen (Blaise), Kent, Luke and Grace O’Donnell, great-grandchildren, Christopher, Ellie and Ryla. Olive is survived by two sisters, Bernice Taylor of Quispamsis and Frances Rogers (Andrew) of Moncton; also by sisters-in-law Dena Stockford, Vera O’Donnell and Jean MacDonald as well as a number of nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents and husband, Olive was also predeceased by her step-father, Frank L. Stockford and by brothers, Bliss Sinnett, Lawrence Sinnett and Nathanial Stockford.

The family will receive condolences at Capital Community Church, 71 Downing St., Fredericton on Tuesday June 6th, 2023, from 6-9 PM.  A service celebrating the life of Olive O’Donnell will be held from the church on Wednesday June 7th, 2023 at 1 PM with Pastors Jack Leaman and Raymond Woodward officiating.  A reception to follow.  

 

A special thank you to head nurse Jason Robin and to all the staff of Tower 3 at York Care Center for their care and compassion during Olives stay there.

 

Olive requested that memorial contributions be made to Foreign Missions designated for ministry in Guatamala.
