She moved to the United States upon marriage to William “Van” Vanderberry (deceased 2003) in 1959.

Ollie was a devoted wife, mother and accomplished designer and seamstress, having had the opportunity to outfit performers on stage and television as well as to share her craft with friends and family throughout her life. She is survived by her daughter, Kathryn LaMons and her husband William of Brooksville, FL; sons, COL Robin Vanderberry and his wife Brenda, of Las Vegas, NV and CW5 William (Dean) Vanderberry and his wife Joyce of Savannah, GA; grandchildren, Jason, Cinnamon, and Peter; great grandchildren, Tatiana, Izaya, Xander and Brox; sister Jean Gillette and her husband Everett of Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Calvin Pelley and his wife Queen of Port Anson, Newfoundland, and brothers-in-law James Vanderberry and his wife Catherine of Bossier City, LA, and George Ferris of Norfolk, VA. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday June 11, 2011 at the Hunter Army Air Field Base chapel. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, remembrances be sent in her memory to the Alzheimer’s Association.
