From: ELAINE F DOWSWELL
Relation: She was my Auntie, my mother's (Jenny Kossey) sister.
I am so sorry for your loss. Auntie Olga played a big role in my life as I was growing up and I always said I wanted to grow up to be just like her! We will all miss her quick wit and love of playing cards and bingo. I will truly miss our life discussions across her kitchen table while sharing a coffee. Heaven has gained a very special angel!
From: Nick Kossey, jr.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She was such a wonderful person, it was a true pleasure to hear her laughter, and we were just that much better for having Auntie Olga in our lives. Please accept my warmest thoughts and sympathies.
