MEISTERLING, Olga Roman
Olga Roman Meisterling, 85, passed away at The Farm, on Saturday (September 1, 2012). Ma was born April 6, 1927. She grew up in Portland, CT with her parents Gabriel and Maria Roman and brothers, Victor and Daniel. Iggy and Dunk, (John W. Meisterling), were married in 1947, moved to The Farm and her life there became legendary. Stories from The Farm are endless from her 11 children, 22 grandchildren, three great-granddaughters, 12 nieces and nephews and countless extended family and friends far and wide...
In keeping with Ma's wishes, there will be no calling hours. There will be a memorial to celebrate her life on Saturday, September 8, 2012 from 1-3 p.m. at Brooklawn Funeral Home, 511 Brook Street, Rocky Hill, CT. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Homes for our Troops at Homesforourtroops.org, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at ASPCA.org, or a charity of your choice.
You are and always will be one of my most special memories. Every time I make potato soup I smile and think of how you and Gail taught me in the warmest, happiest kitchen I´ve ever known. I loved you then and I love you now.

It's been seven years since Ma's passing and it still hurts just as much and brings tears to my eyes.

So sad to hear of Iggy's passing. Some of the best memories of my life were connected to Ma and Dunk, the Meisterling farm and the huge, warm family that accepted me and my son into their lives. They were family to me and anyone that walked into Ma's kitchen. I'm so glad I got to see Ma the last time I was in Connecticut......it was if the 30 years that had past were a blink of an eye. I was the long lost child home again. Thank you Iggy, you will live forever in my memories.

Ma, you are the bestest m-i-l a guy could ever have.
You always treated me with respect!! I have no one
to share books with now. Whenever I walked through the kitchen
door, you always greeted me with a heartfelt hug and a big smootch.
Who is going to do that now??? I will, will, will miss you!!
