Olive Osmond, matriarch of one of America’s first families of entertainment, died Sunday morning of complications from a massive stroke suffered 2 1/2 years ago. She was 79.

Many of Osmond’s nine children were at her bedside on Mother’s Day at her Provo home, said family spokesman Ron Clark. …

Osmond suffered a stroke in November 2001 in St. George, and, after months of rehabilitation, moved to a home in Provo with George, her husband of almost 60 years. Her health began to deteriorate last month, bringing the large Osmond family to her bedside for prayers, reminiscences and songs.

Olive May Davis was born May 4, 1925, in Samaria, Idaho. … Read full obituary
