Olive Krick “Lolly”, age 97, peacefully passed away surrounded by her loving family on Friday, May 3, 2018. Olive was preceded in death by her husband, of 70 years, and “love of a lifetime”, Paul G. Krick.
Olive was born in Throckmorton, Texas to Della Mae Puryear Edwards and James Hollingsworth Edwards. Olive was a twin until the age of two when her sister passed away; she had three brothers and 2 other sisters, of which she was the last surviving child.
Olive had a fearless attitude towards life, living it to the fullest. She hit the jackpot when she met Paul and impulsively got on a bus at age 17 to marry him; that decision led to 70 full years of marriage, two children, three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
She wasn’t just lucky in love; she had a way with the slot machines, “42”, bingo, bowling, and took top place in talent shows and tournaments alike. Olive always carried herself with such poise and grace, a true lady, which made her surprising off-color humor that much more delightful. Olive filled every room with joy and song; she will always be remembered for her deep love of family, and years of service at St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church, with the Methodist Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop both in Houston, and the Hill Country Senior Citizens Center of Dripping Springs.
Olive is survived by her son, Paul; daughter, Betty and husband, Tom; three granddaughters, Jennifer and husband, Chris and great-grandson, Reid; Allison and husband, Matt and great-grandchildren, Garrett and Audrey; Catherine and husband, Blayke and great-grandchildren, Elliot and Amelia.
Olive will be laid to rest next to her loving husband, Paul, in the Fitzhugh Baptist Cemetery in Dripping Springs on May 7, 2018 at 11:00 A.M.
