Olga Dawson

1925 ~ 2018

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Olga Viola Dawson on Sunday, May 20, 2018 at the Chinook Regional Hospital.

Olga will lovingly be remembered by her children, Reg, Jim (Nancy), and Judy; her precious grandchildren, Libby (Trevor), Jeff (Abby), Tim (Ally), Jamie (Kim), Krista (Vince); dearest great grandchildren, Hailie, Tighe, Briley, Quinn, Lucas, Rowan, Brady, Brodie, Maggie, Ezra and dog, Trixie. She will also be missed by her siblings, Marie, Goldie (Andy), Austin (Edith), Linda, Diane (Erik), brother-in-law Wayne and her extended family.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband John, her parents Peter and Kirstine Jorgensen; sisters Virginia, Loretta, Erna, and Elsie; and her special neighbour and friend, Helen Schuler.

Olga was born on November 20, 1925 at the family farm in Iron Springs. In 1950, she left the farm life to settle in Lethbridge. Here she met John and shortly thereafter, they married and started their family; whom she devoted her life to.

She was the proud daughter of Pioneers, learning the value of hard work, honesty, and fairness. She devoted her entire life to her family; passing down cherished family traditions and love of family.

In accordance with Olga’s wishes, there will be no funeral. Her family will hold a private Memorial in Celebration of her Life. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial donations to Wood’s Homes, 312 3 St S, Lethbridge, AB T1J 1Y9.
