Olivetta “Ollie” G. (Watkins) Ernstberger, 56, passed away peacefully on Friday December 2, 2022 in Clarksville, Indiana. Ollie was born on February 22, 1966, to the late Oliver Watkins and Edith Ann Ballou. Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her life partner Charles Ernstberger.
Ollie attended the Victory Baptist Church. She was a big supporter of 4-H and a member of the Sigma Sigma Sorority.

Her joy for life and her passions truly were contagious and will be remembered by many. Above all else, Ollie loved, adored and was so proud of her three daughters.
