Olga was a very dear friend of my parents Earl / Vera Oberholtzer and myself for a long time. (50 yrs +) I knew Olga as Aunt Becky. She was a good artist, and gave mom and dad 1 of her paintings, in which I still have hanging in my apt. I will remember Aunt Becky as a kind, loving and thoughtful person, and I will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with Olga's family at this time. - Posted by: Elizabeth Oberholtzer (long time family friend) on: Jul 16, 2012
