Olivia Hamilton

Olivia Ann Hamilton was born on November 18, 2001, to her parents Ryan Hamilton and Ashley Olson in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. She was baptized and later confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Wendell, Minnesota. She attended West Central Area School, graduating in 2020. Olivia worked at Productive Alternatives while attending school and after high school she began working as a dedicated custodian at Trinity Church, and at the beet plant during harvest season where she enjoyed operating the Bobcat. Olivia's affinity for nature was evident in her penchant for picking wildflowers, collecting rocks, and seeking out four-leaf clovers, which she could find in any field.
 
A free spirit at heart, Olivia adored her red 1997 Cadillac Eldorado and cherished her feline companions. In her free time, she enjoyed playing cards, and crafting exquisite pieces of jewelry, dreamcatchers, and other trinkets.

Olivia is preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Alvin & Ida Olson, Florence Spencer, Robert Spencer, and Eugene Fick. 

She is survived by her Mom Ashley (Odin Corell) Olson; Dad Ryan Hamilton; siblings, Alana Olson, Emery Hamilton, and Jetta Hamilton; grandparents, Pam and Arlin Olson, and Richard and Romaine Hamilton; uncles, Aaron Olson and Dan Hamilton; significant other Cody Smith; and numerous aunts, extended relatives, and friends.
