Wilbur, Alexander M., Albert M. and Charles M. Chapman, Erma R. Kelly and Mary C. Chapman; a granddaughter, Alicia Titus; a grandson, Gabriel Titus and a great grandson, Titus Warne.
She is survived by her children, Bill, of South Vienna, Ohio, John (Bev) of St. Paris, Ohio, Steve (Cindy) and Bob (Robin) all of Bellefontaine, Ohio, Jana (Bobby) Walker, Rick (Kris) all of Rushsylvania and Jodi (George) Lewis of Tierra Verde, Florida; twenty two grandchildren; thirty five great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Olivia was the valedictorian of the Rushsylvania High School Class of 1945, and attended Ohio University for one year before becoming a homemaker.

Olivia loved to sing and was active with the Rushsylvania Community Choir and the Christmas Cantata. She also enjoyed reading, working crossword puzzles and was a former member of the Rushsylvania Garden Club.
In her last years, she had lost the ability to pursue her hobbies but still continued to sing and laugh and cheat at word games. She was well loved by those who knew her and a joy to be around as she continued life without her partner of sixty four years. Her capacity for fun never ceased and she seldom complained. She touched numerous lives through her work and church activities and left a legacy of love, joy and acceptance of others. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
To honor Olivia, the family is asking those attending the funeral service wear purple in some form to please her and make God smile.
