We are saddened with the news of Oletta passing. Oletta was greatly admired by many of us who grew up in Hurleyville.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Finn family during this difficult time.

Respectfully,

Oletta was such a positive influence in my life. She used to babysit my brothers, yes i do mean those little devils known as the twins. She would come to watch them, and became my friend in the process. In fact, your whole family became our family. I know many funny stories but i'm not sure how appropriate they are. Appropriate or not they were good times. I do believe that when it is all said and done the memories that were created by oletta will live on in us all. Tonya and all the Finns, I am so so sorry for your loss. sincerely, Barbra Ingrassia

The Ingrassia Family will miss Oletta. There was a quiet gentleness about Oletta that was a lovely quality. She was a part of our family in the old days as we watched her grow into a nice young lady. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My deepest sympathy to the family. It has been so long since I've seen Olletta, but in school she always had this quiet grace about her.
