Olga was a wonderful person who was very proud of her family. The time would go by so fast when she was giving my Mom a perm because we would talk the whole time about our families. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren. She spoke of them often. She was a part of our family also. We will dearly miss her.

To the Emerick family, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I have many great memories of time spent in her "home salon" and of time spent with you. You are all in my thought and prayers.

I never had the chance to meet Olga but I do know she must have been a beautiful person. I have the pleasure of being friends with her son n his family. He has done an amazing job carrying on those lessons and memories that I know he had gotten from home. I know he will continue to share and cherish these memories.
We are sorry for your loss. We wish we could be with you. Remember you have an angel.always
