On Sunday August 18th, 2024, Olivia Vanay (Kreifels) Martin passed away at the age of 34.

She was born December 1st, 1989, to the proud parents Jon and Lauree (McIntyre) Kreifels. She grew up outside the city in Wellington, KS with her four younger brothers Drake Kreifels (Emma), Klyde Kreifels (Maddie), Chance Kreifels (Rilee) and Landon Kreifels. Growing up she had a love for being in the country, hanging out with friends and attending the high school football games. She graduated from Belle Plaine High School in 2008 and went on to attend Friends University in Wichita, KS.

Olivia had a career in the banking and mortgage industry for over a decade and a half. She met her best friend Annesette Manning early in her career and made lots of other lifelong friends throughout the years. In 2014 she met the love of her life James Martin and daughter Emma Martin. The couple would go on to marry in what she would call the perfect moment on October 27, 2017.

For many Olivia was a bright light in their lives. She had one of the biggest hearts of anyone you'd ever meet. She had a love for driving through the countryside listening to music, traveling and exploring the world at any chance she got. One of her favorite things was making memories with her husband and daughter going to Disney and crafting all the projects their hearts desired. Olivia loved to show others her love for them with cards, handmade gifts and sometimes inappropriate pranks. Making others smile and feel loved was one of her greatest gifts as she loved very deeply. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, godmother and so much more.

She is preceded in death by her parents Jon Kreifels and Lauree Young and her two angel babies and nephew Elijah Kreifels.

Olivia is survived by her husband James Martin, daughter Emma Martin, bonus parents Douglas and Sharon Cannon, best friend Annesette (David) Manning, Aunt Chaney (Damon) Kraft, Uncle Alan (Linda) Kreifels, her four brothers (wives and children) and many more aunts, uncles, cousins and extended families.

Per Olivia's request there will be no services.
