Olga's Family & Friends, I've know Olga for more than 50 years and spent many, many hours in her homes from my teenage years to present. By default and in many ways she became like a second Mum to me. Always supportive in the various endeavors we'd get up to, yet cautiously protective. She taught me to make cabbage rolls and I'll never be able to look at beet soup without feeling her warmth. As I matured, I came to understand her tremendous commitment to her boys and her family: never putting herself first. Her zest for life and fun was always present and her laugh and smile would brighten a room. The photo on this page confirms her ever present sense of style and grace. No one who ever met her would go away without understanding that this woman was the definition of a lady. All of us who knew her, have been enriched by her generosity and kindness and those gifts can never be forgotten. God has blessed us with you.
