Matushka Olga served the needs of the Church and the faithful since 1941 in several parishes, including those in Berlin, NH, and Forest City, PA. Her presence and love were completed in serving the faithful in All Saints Church. Throughout her life, she shared her beautiful voice by singing in parish choirs. Her first priority was to serve and display unconditional love to her parish and the faithful. She was well known for her grace, charm, and warm hospitality to all.
Survivors include her beloved sister, Elena S. Savchuck, and a godson, Gregory Savchuck.
