Daughter of Fabien Regimbal (1853-1928) and Salome LaBerge (1857-1938). She migrated from Canada with her family to Gentilly, Minnesota in 1882 when one year old.
She was 16 when her family moved from Crookston, MN to Yakima county in Washington. There she took her vows and became a nun with the Filles de Charite, Servantes des Pauvres (Sisters of Charity of Providence - hospitaliers).
She became known as Sister Ethelreda FCSP (not to be confused with her niece, Marie Ethelreda Perrault (1916-2003) who also became a nun, 'Sister Beatrice Anne SP', but who was known fondly as Sister Reda).
Olivine's calling was to serve as a nurse at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Yakima, which was opened by the order in 1892. In 1914, a new five-story brick building replaced it, located at 110 S. 9th Avenue on Yakima's Capitol Hill.
Around 1928, Sister Ethelreda became a surrogate mother to her niece, Helen Fortier. The teenager lived with her until she retired.
In the year 1959, Olivine was called home. She would not live to see her beloved hospital's demolition in 1963 or its reconstruction in 1965 to become Providence Yakima Medical Center.
In 2003, the hospital was sold, and is now known as Yakima Regional Medicine and Cardiac Care Center.
Sister Ethelreda's grave is marked by a simple concrete pad, near her parent's tombstone in Moxee's Holy Rosary Cemetery . - M Fortier
