Fort Bend Herald, August 18, 2024: Olie Eixmann passed peacefully at the SPJST facility in Needville, Texas on August 13, 2024 at the age of 100. Olie was born March 1, 1924 in Modena, Texas which is six miles from Needville, Texas. She was baptized on March 23, 1924 by Rev. J.R. Vilt in the Evangelical & Reformed Church in Needville.

She took typing, learned shorthand, learned to sew, and took a cake decorating course. She sewed many quilts by herself and with others in the quilting bee group. During retirement, John and Olie made many, many long trips traveling throughout all of the United States and Canada and part of Mexico. They traveled by pulling a travel trailer and have many picture book albums of their memories. Olie was extremely active in her church. Olie was a member of Immanuel all her life.
