It was the female auxillary of the Improved Order of Redmen, a philanthropic organization founded in 1773 and included members of the Sons of Liberty and several U.S. presidents. She was active in that group well into her 80's. Ollie and Lew raised three daughters, and taught us all the importance of love, hard work, and family. Ollie was a housewife and mother extraordinaire. Her father was a baker and ran a diner and she inherited his gift. She is known for her homemade bread, pies, and wonderful meals and most famously for her whoopie pies. She made them by the dozens for family get- togethers and reunions and there was never one left. Ollie's proudest accomplishments were her daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
