Biographical Notes
Olie moved to Kitimat in 1952 with her two daughters to join her husband Art. In 1954, Art and Olie opened their hardware store, Coghlin's Hardware. In 1977 the store was closed when they decided to retire. Both of them decided to remain in Kitimat after retirement, and spent their time travelling, and pursuing hobbies. One of which for Olie was painting. Olie did many paintings, but could never bring herself to sell them. They were only given to friends family as she considered her paintings as only a hobby, and not a job to earn money.
