She received her undergraduate and master's degrees from The University of Houston at 21 years of age. She taught at Saint Anne Catholic School for 11 years and Harvard Elementary for 18 years, with perfect attendance at both.
Her claims to fame: she never took any prescriptions, paid cash for three homes, and had an excellent memory. Examples of her sense of humor: A doctor friend once said: "Older people should not live in a two-story home." She leaned over to me and whispered: "Don't tell him I live in a three-story townhome." When she saw the expiration date of 2023 on her blue parking placard, she said: "Is this all?" She wanted it to indicate INDEF.
Olga Marie is predeceased by Robert Darrell Shanks. She is survived by her son Aaron Andre and daughter Candace Andre.
Grandchildren are Eric Andre and Elizabeth Wilsie and great granddaughters are Meredith and Margaret Wilsie. "Adopted daughters" include Merideth Melville, Nancy Pippin, and Helen Beane.
" Her last breath on earth was her first breath in Heaven."
