BAYLE, Olive (born 11 November 1946, died 4 January 2005) "...At her home in Toronto,
at age 57. She will be lovingly
remembered by her siblings, Seamus (Kathleen) of Ireland, Dorothy of Arlington
VA, Kathleen (Christy Kane) and Angela (Noel Shanahan) of Ireland, Paul (Linda)
of Arlington VA, Pat and Noeleen (Aidan Clarke) of Ireland. Olive will also be
fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins in
Ireland, England and the USA. Olive loved the limelight, was a jovial, outgoing
and fun loving person. When you were in Olives company the craic was mighty!.
Because of the person Olive was, she will be sadly missed by many friends in
Canada, Ireland and the USA.
