After a long life lasting 109 years, Olga peacefully passed on November 14, 2023.
Predeceased by husband, Frank; brothers, Joe and Alex; sisters, Mary, Kaye and Nettie and survived by brother Nick.
Olga and Frank married late in life but spent over 40 happy years together.
Olga worked at Pauline’s Chocolates and also at Eaton’s in the alterations department.
Olga was not just good at alterations but was an excellent tailor. If she saw something she liked, she was able to duplicate it, whether sewing but also knitting and crocheting.
She loved taking care of her garden and flowers and especially her beloved backyard apple tree. She loved to cook and try new recipes. She also loved to go fishing with Frank.
Olga and Frank did not have their own family but always enjoyed their many nephews, nieces and families. Olga also loved her cats. In later years, she could not care for one but she made friends with all the neighbourhood cats.
She lived independently into her 90s and then spent the remainder of her life at Tuxedo Villas Personal Care Home. Her family thanks the staff at Tuxedo Villa for the care she received while there and for keeping her safe during the Covid pandemic.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
