Well, I still stand by my original answer.

In UT, p. 393, there is an account of "a council of the Valar, summoned it seems by Manwe...at which it was resolved to send out three emissaries to Middle-earth" Olorin was at the council; he was Manwe's choice but he "declared he was too weak for such a task, and that he feared Sauron". Yavanna was also at the council: "Curumo [Saruman] took Aiwendil [Radagast] because Yavanna begged him."

So apparently there was at least one occasion when Olorin and Yavanna were at the same event.

But even if this won't answer, then there's always:

Deagol --> Smeagol --> Gandalf/Olorin --> Saruman/Curumo --> Yavanna

EDIT Cross-posted with Telchar and Perky!

All right, here's mine:

Mimosa Bunce --> Tar-Minastir
