Olga A. Brands

I was saddened by the passing of Olga.I'm a nephew of Dorothy Cook. Olga was like a part of the family, and very close to Aunt Dot. I called them the "Dynamic Duo". Olga will be missed.

I first met Olga when I was six. Olga lived across the street from me in Delaware Park. Olga and Dot were a extended part of our family. My family and I are going to miss her alot.

It was my honor and pleasure to meet Olga back in 1981 When I married my husband Dale. Dale's mother Vera Hess was a cousin to Olga and they stayed very close friend all there lives.Olga your home was open to many people and friends. You loved to have us visit and when we did you made us feel right at home. Olga our family will always cherish the times we had with you and Dot the stories that Dot told her serious face and than your hardy laugh what fun. Olga for all the hearts of people that...

My mother, Vera, and Olga grew up together as close friends and cousins. Her mother Orpha and my grandmother Bertha Miller were sisters. The other entries of this guest book describe her well as a very special lady who always brought with her God's abundant cheer, joy, love and many stories. She always made you feel special. I will always cherish our visits to her former home at the seashore in Toms River and the many Thanksgivings and Christmas' she and Dot shared with us over the years...

As one of Dot Cooks great neices I had the benefit of having Olga as another great aunt. I will never forget her stories and jokes, her huge laugh and all the times she bounced me on her knee singing the fine lady from Banbury Cross which my own little girls now love. I'm pretty sure I don't do it as well as Olga but I remember her every time I try.

I'll always remember Olga, and Dot, for their friendship and t.l.c. when I was secretary at Pilgrim Church. Olga loved to tell a story and wouldn't forget a single detail. And all her friends were greeted on their special day with a Olga-gram Happy Birthday sung over the phone. She will be missed.

Olga became friends with my Aunt, Dot Cook in 1933, 72 years ago. She attended Trenton State College with my Mother,Father and Aunt Dot. She was an "adopted" part of the Cook family and attended most of our holiday and family gatherings. To my cousin James Cook, my sister and I she was an Aunt.
She would pick up on the interests of others and go out of her way to send information and provide related conversation making the person feel special.
Olga and Dot were THE 5th and 6th...

Olga was an important part of our lives and will be truly missed. She read at our wedding and was affectionately called "Ugga" by our children.
