Orlen von Hollen
July 12, 1940 – February 12, 2019
On February 12, 2019, with heavy hearts we sadly had to say goodbye to our beloved Orlen von Hollen.
He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years Sharlene, daughters Shelda (Greg) Kozak, Marcine (Gordon) Olsen, six grandchildren (Brett, Aspen, Kalaina, Mitch, Raegan, Jayla) and his sister Fay (Clarence) Formanek.
Always a teacher at heart, he lived his life to the fullest, with laughter and will be greatly missed.
We welcome any memories, photos and condolences you wish to share.
At Orlen’s request, no formal memorial will take place.
In his memory, donations may be made to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.
