Oliviah Hall, a 10-year-old Ashtabula girl who won the hearts of thousands of our viewers, has sadly passed away after battling terminal brain cancer.

The Facebook page Team Oliviah announced Saturday evening that Oliviah was "called home" at 4:55 p.m. The family is requesting privacy at this time.

Oliviah first made news on our airwaves back in August, when she took the stage with local band Country Redford. This month, her father said doctors had given her only a three percent chance to make it to Christmas. She made it, however, despite a still unknown suspect stealing some of her gifts.

The community rallied around Oliviah, and A Special Wish Foundation made many of Oliviah’s dreams come true: They sent her to Disney and even helped her become an FBI Agent for a day that included a trip to Quantico and a meeting with FBI Director Christopher Wray.

"Oliviah's motto was there are no strangers just friends you haven't met yet and she truly lived by that because she made sure that she put a smile on someone else's face," Bryan Brown, Oliviah's dad, told us.
