In 1978 the family of four moved to Moorhead, MN where they had one more child Neil. Olga took care of the home, was a Boy Scout den mother for David’s troop and worked at the YWCA. She became well-traveled as she worked for the cancer society, and FBS. She settled in for a bit working at Vick’s Lounge and Ralph’s Corner until 2012 when she moved back to Detroit Lakes, MN to help take care of her mother. Olga had many aspirations and achieved many of her goals in life. It was important to her to be honest, hardworking, giving and have a strong faith in God. She was a Breast Cancer survivor, loved the outdoors, playing cards, bingo, and most of all visiting with family and friends.
