The family moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1907, where her father worked for Great West Saddlery. Olive attended McDougall School and Garbutt Business College, and then in 1918 married Peter Bertram. Peter, 1889-1979, was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and came to Calgary in 1910. He was well known in the building trade. The Bertrams had two sons, Allan Bertram, 1919-?, and George Robert Bertram, 1920-1986. The family lived at 1839 Bowness Road, moving there in about 1924. Olive continued to live there until 1972.
