Mr. and Mrs. John Linnartz are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter, Olivia Linnartz, to Sean McCafferty, son of Mrs. Patricia McCafferty and the late Edward McCafferty.
Olivia was raised in New Canaan, Connecticut, and attended The School of the Holy Child in Rye, New York. She went on to Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where she met Sean. Although Sean, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, was recruited to Denison to play football, the couple didn’t meet until his final semester.
Olivia earned her degree in Education and graduated with honors in the spring of 2022. Sean completed his degree in Economics in the fall of 2021 but proudly walked alongside Olivia and the Class of 2022 during commencement. Following graduation, Olivia moved to Arlington, Virginia, to pursue her Master’s in Teaching at American University.
Now both living in Arlington, Olivia is a third-grade teacher in the Fairfax County Public School System, and Sean works for CommScope.
The engagement was joyfully celebrated with a garden party at The Roger Sherman Inn in Olivia’s hometown of New Canaan, surrounded by close family and friends.
A June 2026 wedding is planned in Newport, Rhode Island.
