Cruz Olivo, 76, of Wharton passed away peacefully with her family at her bedside on Wednesday morning October 17, 2018 at her residence in Wharton.        Cruz was born May 3, 1942 in Wharton, Texas to Teodoro and Margarita Belasquez Olivo. Cruz was raised in the Wharton area and lived here her entire life. She was a caregiver all her life for her family, which she loved dearly. She also worked for the Eldridge Family here in Wharton and always talked about them and their children. We will always appreciate all they did for her.
