She also attended business college in Fond du Lac. Her father remarried Margaret Kaiser at Stratford where she met and married Leon "Lee" Laessig in 1933 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. They built a farm in rural Stratford where their children were born and raised. Lee died in 1970. Olive was a good cook and baker and loved to pick berries. She was always ready to feed anyone who stopped in. Olive cooked for the hot lunch program at St. Joseph's Parochial School for 15 years and she cooked for Father Rudolph for 8 years.
