Her story

Olivia was the beloved daughter of Marisa and Alex Dandridge — their miracle, their answered prayer, the little girl they longed for with full and hopeful hearts. From the moment she arrived, she filled their lives with a love deeper than words can hold.

She loved the simple, beautiful things: splashing happily in the bath, the ocean air at the beach, being wrapped safely in the arms of the people who adored her. She was rarely without loving arms around her — parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, her devoted caregiver, her physical therapist. She had a way of touching hearts without words. Anyone who met her felt it.

On May 5, 2026, after bravely living with a rare genetic condition, Olivia drifted softly and without pain into heaven, held in her father's arms. She leaves behind her mother, Marisa; her father, Alex; and her younger siblings, Elena and Dominic, who will grow up always knowing how deeply their sister was loved.
