Darla Frances Olive Rose, 57, was called home by God on Saturday, August 31, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Darla was born to Sarah (Mills) and the late Lee Roy Olive, in Little Rock, Arkansas on September 2, 1966. In addition to her father Lee Roy, Darla was reunited in Heaven with her brother, Dean Olive, her grandparents, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Darla graduated from Mills High School and went on to work for Arkansas Children’s Hospital and most recently, Retina Associates Little Rock. Anyone who had the good fortune to meet and know Darla knew she loved the Lord, loved animals, and loved to laugh. She was an active member of Woodson Baptist Church and relied on the bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11, to support her through tough times.
She is survived by her loving mother, Sarah Olive; her dear cat, Phoebe; several cousins, and a host of friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the humane society of your choice or your favorite charity in Darla’s name.
