Olive B. Herrilko, age 90, of West Leisenring, Pa., passed away on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at the Uniontown Hospital. She was born in Coventry, England on April 7, 1928, daughter of the late Richard Henry Rushton and Louise (Watkins) Rushton. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Francis M. "Patsy" Herrilko in 1999, a sister, Mae Rushton, and a brother, James Rushton.

At age 14, Olive was a survivor of the WWII Blitz in England by the German Army, and aided the war effort for supplies as a member of the Women's Land Army in Coventry, where over 3,000 residents lost their lives. It was there that later she met her husband, a US Army Sergent, Patton's 3 ^rd Army, who had been sent to Coventry to recovery from his wounds received during the Battle of the Bulge.  They kept in touch with letters until the war was over, when she accepted his hand of marriage. Olive was a member of the former St. Polycarp Roman Catholic Church, West Leisenring.

Surviving are three children, David Herrilko (Bonnie) of Englishman Hill, Connellsville, Pa., Lynette Beddick (Gerry) of Dunbar, Pa., and Jamie Herrilko (Carmen) of Naples, Fla.; five grandchildren, Julie Baldini, Jason Herrilko, Jodie Harvey, John Beddick, and Craig Beddick; eleven great grandchildren and one great-great granddaughter.

Our family would like to thank Dr. Paul A. Hartley and his staff for their kindness and compassion, and also the Nurses and Nursing Aides of Uniontown Hospital, whose excellent care we appreciate beyond measure.
