In my humble estimation, Olivia was a saint … in her life and confirmed in her suffering. What a great woman.
What a great family.
Not to say we should not pray for her soul and the consolation of her family. (a St. John the Beloved parishioner).
May St. Dominic meet you at the gates of Heaven. Farewell until we meet again in the City of God.
Praying for your soul and all your family.
Rest in peace,

I am so sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I’m proud to have known Olivia, she was an awesome person.
Olivia goes far back in my memory from the early childhood days at Blessed Sacrament school in Chevy Chase to those teenage years at Holy Cross Academy. Life took us on different paths, but I will always cherish knowing her.
I’m so saddened by your great loss, McFadden Clan! It was a blessing to know the mother of a best friend, Mary. Mrs McFadden was a stellar woman full of grace, kindness and generosity, as well as great beauty. It was easy to see how much she cherished each of her wonderful children. She was a very proud mother and devoted wife. My prayers are with your family as you grieve the loss of her earthly presence. May the Good Lord offer each of you a new relationship with Olivia as she is with you now! Kate (Murrell) Pride
I met Olivia as adults where we had common interests in Church and family. Over the years we supported each other and shared many good times centered on friendship, faith and family. Now Olivia is my friend in a good place and we pray “Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen”
May God almighty grant eternal rest to Mrs. Olivia Baish McFadden! we will always remember your smile! From Tessy, all AWC volunteers, and moms and babies saved at A Woman’s Choice pregnancy resource centers.
I just came across this obituary and am very saddened to see it. Olivia was an important part of my life in High School and college. She was warm, thoughtful and generous. I regret that I never reconnected with her after several years overseas. I am so happy to learn of the wonderful life and family that she enjoyed. Rest in Peace, Olivia.
