OLLIE ARNOLD
1964 - 2014
Remembering Ollie ...
...What others had to say about Ollie
I first met Ollie when she interviewed me to be a volunteer at Eden I&R. On my first day, I'll always remember her famous words to me, "I don't babysit so if you run out of work to do, don't come asking me for work, find work." So when I ran out of work to do, I went to everyone else but her because I did not want make her mad. Of course from time to time, I would bring that up and we would have a good laugh about it. Ollie, Jeanette and I had great laughs together; especially Ollie! She filled the housing department with her laughter. I really miss her!

The heart & soul of Eden I&R
The best birthday singer & dancer ever!
Best chuckle & best laugh coupled with the best smile.
Big heart; dedicated to serving! She believed in what we did and worked so hard for everyone.
Huge heart, always happy - beautiful soul.
May you always be with us in spirit. Love you so much - Adele
Always saw the good in everyone!

The Ollie's Happy Birthday Song; with a dance
"Happy Birthday to you (woot, woot), Happy Birthday to you (woot, woot), Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you! (woot, woot)!
My real "Housewife of Atlanta" fan mate!
Ollie had firsthand. Knowing Ollie, she will probably take up all the social issues she cared deeply about with the man upstairs and demand action - Ollie, you will be missed. Love you.
"...She walks in beauty.."
Bossy, big heart, leader, strong.
A magnificent heart... The Rock of Eden I&R
Queen of Disaster Preparedness, Response & Bravery
Message from Darice Bridges:
Early mornings
She was my early morning check-in when I would get in the office in the mornings. She also would snatch me up from whatever I was doing (mind you she wouldn't ask me if I was busy) whenever the Wobble came on the radio. One of her classic "Ollie things" would be to yell through the office while pointing her finger and say, "Making copies NO TOUCHING OR PRINTING!!!" I miss her sooo much!!! She was a good friend as well as a colleague...
