Larisa was born in Prince George, BC, but has lived in the Peace Region since 2000. In 2024, she joined the Oliver’s family because she wanted to do meaningful work. She finds it an honour to bear witness to the final chapter of loved ones’ lives, hear stories about them, and help their families honour their loved ones.

Larissa loves the outdoors and you can often find her kayaking, camping, and fishing during the summer months. In the autumn, she enjoys hunting. She also loves live music and goes to concerts as often as she can. Larissa has a daughter as well as other extended family members who also live in the area.
