Olive Anne (White) Kaplanis Obituary

We are sad to announce that on October 21, 2020, Olive Kaplanis (Oakland/El Cerrito, California) passed away. She was not only known in senior community after working in the El Cerrito Senior Center for many years after she retired from many more years at Seabourne Cruise Lines, she was also know and loved by all as "Nana".

She leaves behind/survived her biological daughters Macie and Paula, grandsons, Tyler, Shane and Reilly, great grandson Raelyn. as well as many others were chosen "adopted" daughters (Kim and Cynthia to name a few) and sons too. Family and friend in the United States as well as Canada. Nephews and Nieces and other family--because she treated everyone like family.

At any time you could stop by her residence and she would feed you--including the stray cats she would leave food and water for them as well. You know you were loved and never leave without a container of Nana's own spaghetti sauce and a roll of Viva towels.

There will be no services for her at this time, but will have services in the Spring to avoid the Covid restrictions for all the huggers in the family.

Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Olive Kaplanis to pay them a last tribute. You may also light a candle in honor of Olive Kaplanis.

Paula Partridge wrote a sympathy message

“I forgot so many things in writing my mom's obituary...One of the many things is that she was the very first employee that Warren Titus hired when he started Seabourn Cruise Lines. He told her that it all starts with her. She knew who to call for whatever they will need and make it so. Mom, you left us almost a year ago and you are on my mind so much today. Thinking of you keeps you alive in my heart and mind. "Olive you"”

Heather Switak wrote a sympathy message

“My name is Heather (White) Switak. My dad, Frank White, was Olive Anne's 1st cousin. It was only today I learned of her passing. On behalf of my generation of Neilson White's descendants as well as his 2 remaining sons [Bill 100 yrs old & Wilson 90 yrs old], I want to extend our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your mother, grandma & great grandma. Unfortunately I only met Olive twice [1960 in San Fran; abt 1999 in Vancouver] with her sister Emily. May God comfort you and give you peace.”

Gini Germany wrote a sympathy message

“Olive was a second MOM to me. Diane Wong, Marietta Reyes & I used to commute home with Olive at the wheel. Wow, could she maneuver that Bay Bridge traffic! Besides all she gave of herself my favorite story is when I left Seabourn on a self-imposed sabbatical for a year. When I returned, Seabourn re-hired me, but offered the rate I had before my last increase. Olive went to bat and demanded they pay me the higher rate I had earned. You will be dearly missed, "MOM".

“I just don't even know what to say! It's been more than a year since I last spoke with her and I feel awful about that. Olive was such a dear soul and the person how held us all together at Seabourn Cruise Line those many years. My heart is breaking knowing that she is no longer with us. My deepest condolences. I'm lifting you up in my prayers knowing you've had your first Christmas without her. I know life will be very different but I pray you find peace to get you through. Love, Anastasia”
