With profound sadness we announce the passing of Edward “Pete” Olive, our loving brother and friend, on August 11, 2023. He was born on February 19, 1953, in Kosciusko, Mississippi. He was the youngest of six children. He attended Northside Elementary School and was a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
After the death of his parents, Rev. Fred and Ardelia Olive, Pete relocated to Maryland in 2000 with his brother Joe Olive. Pete had a sense of humor and a love for music. Back home in Mississippi, he used to play his record player and listen to his spirituals. He will be greatly missed.
Edward was preceded in death by his parents, Rev. Fred and Ardelia Olive. Survivors include his sisters, Annie Pearl Higgins, Memphis, TN, Alice Foster, Union, MS, brother, Fred Kelly Olive, Jr., (Bobbie), Hyattsville, MD, sister, Hattie Kens, Chicago, IL, and brother, Willie Lawrence Olive (Dorothy), Beltsville, MD, along with nephews, nieces, and many cousins.
