Olivia was born on October 14, 1966 in Metz, France. In 1971, the Finton Family relocated to Columbus Air Base, MS, then to San Rafael, CA, and finally to Petaluma, CA where Olivia completed elementary and High School, graduating in 1984. In 1989 Olivia moved to Colorado to receive certification as a Nanny, and upon graduation moved to Connecticut. In 2000, Olivia transitioned out of the nanny business and began working for UBS Investment Bank in Stamford, CT, first as an Administrative Assistant and later as an Executive Assistant. From 2009 to the present she worked for NatWest Markets (formerly RBS/Royal Bank of Scotland) In Stamford, CT.
Olivia traveled extensively throughout the United States and the World, including to Barbados, Aruba, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Iceland, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. She was an avid reader for her entire life, and loved to cook for family and friends. Olivia also volunteered for many years at the Pet Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) of Norwalk, CT.

Olivia will forever be remembered for her incredible caring and generosity to others, for her independent nature, her sense of adventure, and her unshakable positive attitude during her illness. She will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched.
We are all extremely grateful for the wonderful care she received from her Medical Team at the Smilow Cancer Hospital of Yale New Haven Health/Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, CT.
Olivia is survived by her parents, Michelle Finton of Roseville, CA and Gerald Finton of Petaluma, CA; by her sister Geraldine Finton (Ken Dyer) of Pleasanton, CA; by the Eckers of Stamford, CT (her “East Coast Family”!); and her many, many beloved friends.
