She was born on December 24 in North Carolina to a mother named Lois Ruby and a father named Marvin Ruby, but both of her parents had passed away before she was born. Olivia pursued a career in a variety of fields after graduating from high school.

One of Olivia’s favorite things to do was square dancing, and it was at one of these dances that she first met Joe, who would later become her husband.
