Emily Olive

Emily grew up in Vinton, Virginia where she met and married her husband, John Olive. Loving, quiet strength is the way her family describes her. She lived in Roswell, Georgia since 1977.

Emily supported her husband in their jointly owned real estate business, Olive-Wood Properties, for 32 years. She was also a wonderful cook, and a supportive wife and mother.

She is survived by her husband, John, her son, Tim, and his wife Denise; her brother Jack Wood, and wonderful nieces and nephews: Steve Thrasher (Becky), Richard Thrasher, Donna Thrasher Jacobs, Charlotte Leslie Carver (Larry), Greg Leslie ( Vikki), Laura Gross Wilkinson (David) and Tom Gross (Kelly); Forrest Lavinder (Ilene), Elaine Lavinder, Paul Olive, Pam Olive Gold, David Olive (Sherri), Jane Shepherd-Yazler (David).

She will be dearly missed.

A private memorial will be held.
