She later joined Banister Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Dwight E. Scott. After moving back home, she joined Mount Pleasant Chesterville M.B. Church under the leadership of Pastor Henry Vaughn, where she remained until death.

Ollie was the loving mother of four children. She was known to be the life of the party and enjoyed having fun. She loved cooking good food, crossword puzzles, socializing and was an avid shopper. She watched her favorite soap operas daily. She had an infectious smile that could light up any room. Ollie enjoyed her retirement to the fullest.
