I have more than a lifetime of memories of Aunt Ollie; she showed me how to retrieve chicken eggs without getting nipped, make jam, and how to play cards. The last time I saw her, she strolled up the walkway with a bikers jacket and a big smile. I'm so happy that is how I'll always remember her. Love you so much. Pete Gussert

Aunt Ollie will be sorely missed. She was so much fun to be around and told great stories. I have many great memories of visiting the farm in Crivitz, swimming in the creek, seeing all of the animals, and playing cards with all of our family. The HAWK will never be the same, but the cribbage games continue on in heaven!
