Harvey Mudd College Remembers
Oct. 4, 2002–Nov. 4, 2024
Friend
I remember meeting up to check out chemistry pre-lab answers the night before school started our freshman year because HOW could they assign us homework before our first class? She turned a stressful night into one filled with laughter and joy.
Friend
Olivia was a wonderful person, someone who managed to bring light into any conversation she engaged with. Her mind was brilliant, sparkling with wit and humor. Her passing is a void, a dark spot that absorbs all warmth around it. Yet despite the numbing, aching, loss, I remember her as she was, a stellar joy in the lives of all who knew her. May she know a peace greater than any earthly rest. You will be missed; you will be cherished eternal.
Acquaintance
I’ll admit, I never got to fully know Olivia before her death, but I did know her friends, and they could all ascertain that she was a good woman in life. If I had to pick from what little conversations I had with her, I’d say my absolute favorite was the time when we talked about Ross Perot and the Reform Party for a little while. She was a pillar of her community, and a giant in many ways. I believe she could’ve done great things in life if she got to live for a just a bit longer. May she wake in a kinder, gentler world.
Friend
A hole in my chest had opened up the night I heard about her loss. It was all so sudden—our last moment together never felt like it would be our last. But I shall never forget the interesting moments we had together, discussing literature, playing video games, or venting about our experiences.
You will always be in my heart, though we may be oceans apart. Thank you, Olivia, for the opportunity to be your friend.

Olivia was one of the most incredible people I have ever met. She was incredibly intelligent and extraordinarily kind. She was one of the most important people in my life these past few years and I cannot imagine where I would be without her. I will always miss her.
