Olivia Kate Pugh

Daughter and sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, friend, teammate, confidant, student, and child of God. Olivia Kate Pugh, born February 14, 2006 returned home to heaven December 10, 2023 – too soon for those of us on Earth, but God needed her more than us.

Quick with a smile or a kind word, her calming presence was cherished by us. With Olivia close by, you knew a laugh was also soon to be found. She found joy in the small things and shared it with anyone she could. Olivia was a perfect mix of kindness, dedication, silliness and forgiveness. She loved the beach as much as giving a smile. Her relentless hard work was a model for all of those who have wanted to give up but knew we couldn’t.

She is survived by her parents Randy and Tara, her brother Alex, and is loved dearly by Mimi, Pappy, and Grandpa; Auntie and Uncle Mike, Aunt Dawn and Uncle Jimmy, and cousins Will, Lucy, Crystal, Tyler, and Nicholas.

The hole you left cannot be filled, but your smile will always remain. Psalm 28:7
