Give her the reward she has earned, and let her work bring her praise at the city gates. Proverbs 31:31
Olga was a beautiful soul. She contributed greatly to the Serbian community in Northwest Indiana in the 50's,60's, and 70's.
She was a great Aunt and will be missed by many.
May her memory be eternal.

Aunt Olga will be deeply missed by anyone who had the pleasure of simply having a conversation with her.
She had this amazing, unmatched drive that was reflected in her involvement and dedication to her church, her fiery love of meeting and playing pinochle, and the pure love she showed to all us nephews, daughter-in-law, and family.. I still hear her saying her signature words, and always with a hug and kiss, "Love you..!" or "Love you boys!" or "Love you kids!".
We love YOU Aunt Olga ♥
Memory Eternal

Olga was kind and generous. She was dedicated Christian lady. She loved her Serbian Orthodox Church. In those hard times in the 60's she was a backbone in the pursuit of the establishing the roots and the foundation for the St. George Church building in Schererville, Indiana, one of the most beautiful edifice in the Northwest Indiana.
She stood firmly in the defense of the unity of our Serbian Orthodox Church. Without Olga's leadership and those few like her it wouldn't been possible to achieve such great successes in the St. George Church in Schererville with all facilities on the premises.
Thank you Olga for all what you did. I proudly attest to it.
Your former pastor in those formation times,
Fr. Nedeljko Lunich
