She was a dedicated and hard working employee, and she had very fond memories of her job which she loved to share with her family. Working there was a highlight of her life. Olga was a very caring and giving individual. Her nieces and nephews were very important in her life. She always participated and took an interest in their lives and was concerned about their well-being. She was always there when someone was in need of her support. Olga enjoyed playing Bingo with her friends and Scrabble with her brother and sister-in-law. She also enjoyed going on trips to Minneapolis with them to visit her other siblings and their families. The family wishes to thank the staff of Maples Personal Care Home for the care and love they showed her while she resided there.
