We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family of Olga Pawlychyn.
Norris remembers Olga from his childhood days growing up in the Fish Lake area of Chatfield, Manitoba. Both families lived on a farm with short distances from each other and visited back and forth.
He remembers his parents playing cards with Olga and her husband, John, after the two families moved into the town of Chatfield. Later, when both families moved again, to Winnipeg, they still kept in touch.
There was a time when Norris and I needed a babysitter, on very short notice, in the early 1960's and contacted Olga. She so willingly offered to help. Norris and I were happy to be invited to help celebrate Olga's 100th birthday. Olga being of sociable nature, enjoyed the evening and the visiting with family and friends that attended this very special event. Olga was born in the Fish Lake area of Chatfield as was Norris' mother and his Uncle Dan Holowka. His Uncle Dan had related that there were at least four friends from childhood days that grew up in the area and lived to be nearing 100 years or longer. Olga is a good example. His Uncle Dan attributed their longevity to drinking the pure artesian well water that was available in the Chatfield, Fish Lake area. Rest in Peace dear friend. Vichnaya PamYat
