Olga was an avid gardener and a wonderful cook. One of her favorite pastimes was mushroom picking with the family. Mom had a huge heart when it came to her animals whom she loved dearly. She had a lifelong love for curling and golf, playing well into her early eighties. In her younger years Mom played softball with Dad coaching and young children at her feet. Her passion for these sports impacted numerous friends and family and were always a source of joy in her life.
