Condolences
Many a time on a Sunday afternoon drive, I found myself at an Aitken farmyard with my parents (Harry and Janet Mather). They held onto their Holstein connections with great affection. I always had trouble keeping the families straight! Art and Elizabeth’s visits were always a highlight and they were most kind to me while I was a student in London. Small world situation: I met Beth’s maid of honour at a social event while I was living in Saint John. My condolences to Olive’s extended family. She was a lovely lady!
— Ruth Mather Halford, August 15, 2019Thinking of you. I enjoyed visiting with Olive when I would deliver bulletins to her. She was always so gracious and ready to talk. Paula
— Paula Solway, August 12, 2019Hello Morley, Bonnie and families. So sad to hear of Olive's passing. Sending you my deepest condolences. Glad to have met her over the years and will be thinking of all of you at this time.
— Bill Macdonald, August 10, 2019We are all so grateful for the years spent together with Olive and Walter. Together through good times and bad. Farming, laughing, praying, singing. We are especially grateful for the last five months: Olive and Beulah living beside each other: Blest Be The Ties That Bind. Beulah’s family.
— Neil Aitken, August 9, 2019It is with our deepest sympathy that we send our condolences to all the immediate family upon learning of Olive’s passing. Stan & Carolyn Lytle

— Ray & Donna Clark, August 7, 2019Our sincere condolences to all of Olive's family. She was such a wonderful lady, and we were so fortunate to have her live at Hapfield for many years. She was kind and very thoughtful to my in-laws, Ross and Jean, when they were neighbours. The Christmas tree buns that Olive shared every year were a special treat for Ross and Jean and those of us lucky enough to share one of Olive's excellent home made treats. Her dedication to her Holstein community and the hundreds of pies and desserts she baked over the years for the various community events reflects her generosity and community spirit. We enjoyed staying in touch with Olive since her move from Hapfield - she was always a delight to chat with and quietly inspiring. We hope your family memories of Olive will bring you joy as you celebrate a life well lived. She will be missed. A donation to Cancer Patient Services has been made in memory of Olive, Sincerely, Patti-Jo McLellan Shaw & Jim Shaw, Mary McLellan Beck and the Hapfield team.
— PJ McLellan Shaw, August 7, 2019Our deepest condolences to Muriel and Bob and family. She will be greatly missed. Muriel, the support you gave your mom was tremendous. May she Rest In Peace.
— Steve and Trish Storey, August 7, 2019So very sorry for your loss, Olive was a wonderful lady. God Bless Bill & Judy

Here is Walter and Olive and the Alex and Belle Aitken children. Maybe 1985. All wonderful roll models and community leaders. Olive and Walter were always with me: church choir, baseball park, General Store, farm tours.
