Our beautiful daughter Olivia Marrie Tavares passed away Friday, July 28, 2017, in a car accident. She was traveling home with her Grandma and cousins, when the car rolled. Olivia, along with her Grandma (Cindy Boone) and cousin (Lexi Minish) all passed away together. Olivia's two other younger cousins, who were in the car, survived and are recovering from their injuries. She was attending Madison Junior High as an 8th grader.

Anyone who knew Olivia will never forget her infectious smile and her goof ball humor. She was very smart, too smart for her own good. She excelled in school (when she wanted too). She loved to cook; her apple pies were the best. Her favorite food is anything with pasta and she loved her Aunt Katie's frosting. She was artistic and loved art. She was great with kids. She has always had a motherly instinct and loved being around children. She had a great sense of humor and loved making people laugh. Olivia was a Girl Scout for 7 years and loved her friends and leaders.

Olivia was a member of the LDS faith and loved going to Young Women's activities. Her leaders made such a strong impact on her as well as her fellow young women (even if they did talk too much). She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. She was a great daughter, sister, cousin & friend.

She is survived by her parents Scott and Nikki Tavares of Rexburg and her sister Kora Tavares and her brothers Andrew and Shaun Tavares.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, August 4, at the LDS church building at 389 Mariah, in Rexburg. The family will receive friends Thursday evening from 5:30 to 7:00 at Flamm Funeral Home in Rexburg and Friday from 12:00 to 12:45 p.m. at the church prior to services. Interment will be in the Rexburg Cemetery. The family suggests contributions to the LDS Mission fund.

We love you so very much Olivia!
