Mrs. Olivia S. Coelho, 83, of Benjamin Church Manor, Bristol, R.I., died on Sunday, June 7, 2020, at Silver Creek Manor Nursing Home. She was the daughter of the late John and Mary Sousa and lived most of her life in Bristol.

Preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, John S. Coelho, and her three sons, John Pual of Florida, Bruce Allen of Florida and Wayne of Oregon, she is survived by her son, Gary, who resides in California. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Wayne Jr. of Oregon, Bruce Jr. of Florida, and Krystal, also of Florida; and one great-granddaughter, Alice of Oregon. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

Ollie, as everyone how knew her and loved her, had two passions in life. The first one was playing Bingo, and the second one was playing cards, no matter the game. She was a member of St. Elizabeth’s Church and attended Mass regularly.

Due to Covid-19, her funeral arrangements will be made at a later date.
