ollieIn 2005, upon the merger of the The Arc of Omaha and Career Solutions Inc., a supporting organization was formed called Ollie Webb Center Inc. to honor the memory of Ms. Ollie Webb.

She was a former resident of the Beatrice State Home, a homeowner, a landlady, and a retiree from a career in food services at the Omaha Field Club.
