Norma Oleska Obituary

PAWTUCKET - Norma I. Oleska, 88, of Pawtucket, passed away peacefully March 4, 2019 surrounded by her loving family and listening to her beautiful music. She was the beloved wife of the late Anthony J. Oleska. Born in Central Falls, she was the daughter of the late George and Mary (Vivier) Temple. She is survived by her children, Deborah Lalime and Carla Oleska, her sister, Joan Adams, her brother, Robert Temple, two grandchildren, Damon and Danielle Lalime, and two great grandchildren, Morgan and Madison Lalime.
Per her feisty Irish insistence, her burial will be private. However, her daughters will still get the last word as they are planning a Celebration of Life (aka a great party in her honor) to be held at a later date.

Its something I think about to this day whenever having a conversation with someone. You will be missed. May you Rest In Peace.

Norm, I will always remember your laugh.. how easy and often you would break out with such emotion. I will also remember the Mooney look in your eyes at the mention of Dick Contino. And how will I ever forget the scolding starting with your loud Robert. course with your accent it sounded like Rabbit. You will take your place in my heart forever. All my love your baby brother.
