Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryOLGA MCKINNON (HANN) March 17, 1928 - February 10, 2013 With very heavy hearts we announce the passing of a Wonderful Wife, Most Magnificent Mother, Grandest of Grammas / Great-Grammas, Special Sister, Amazing Auntie and Forever Friend. Olly is survived by her soulmate of 61.5 years Bruce, her adoring daughters and their families, Pamela (Braden) Szuuts, Ryan, Jamie, Logan and Emily, Benjamin, Nicole and Olivia, Cynthia (Ron) Seid, Christopher, Callen, LeAnn and Chris, Melinda (John) L'Hirondelle, Jared and Elleni and Jayme, Alison (Arden) Buskell, Lindsay and Jon, Kyle and Taylor. Her best friend in life, her sister, Lily McWhinney, and many nieces and nephews who she cherished. Olly was predeceased by her parents Egnace and Natalia Hann, sister Naida, and brother Walter. We struggle with how to say everything we want to about this wonderful lady. The warm hospitality she showed towards anyone who entered her home, whether it was an amazing meal she had made, a tray of her baking or the "snick snacks" she was able to throw together at a moments notice. Her immediate family will forever and always talk about her three famous "P's"...Perogies, Potato Pancakes and Pies. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all the incredibly wonderful staff at Tudor House in Selkirk. There will be a private family celebration of life at a later date when all the family will be together to reminisce about this lovely lady. "Bless your heart Mama", We love you more.

Hi, I am deeply sorry to learn about the death of aunt Olga. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. I am aware of the fact that you do not know me, but through many years of research I think I finaly found family members on my grandmother's side, Anastasia Hann (Bosak). I truly wish that you are the ones I have been looking for. I wrote my email adress above for us to perhaps engage in a conversation. Again, I am deeply sorry for the loss. I hope to hear news from you soon, With respect, Tanya - Posted by: Tatiana Bosak (From Montreal) on: Feb 16, 2013

Dear Bruce, Pam, Cindy, Mindy, and Alison: I am heartbroken with Ollie's passing. I can only imagine how much her daughters and husband miss her. Ollie was a kind and loving person who welcomed all - including me - into her home. Her greatest pleasure, I believe, was her family. It was obvious how much she loved her girls and so enjoyed her time with them. I trust that happy memories of time spent together with your most special wife and mother will help to console you. My thoughts are with you, Joanne xo - Posted by: Joanne Prescott () on: Feb 16, 2013

My sincerest condolences to you all especially you Uncle Bruce. I will always remember Aunty Ollie for her beautiful smile that always adorned her face and for her soft spoken voice. She always made you feel welcomed and at ease in the most sincerest way whenever she saw you! A warm and wonderful person she was who will always be remembered. With Love, Hope and Kim - Posted by: Kim McWhinney () on: Feb 15, 2013

I am so grateful to have had this incredible woman in my life - she was my second Mom and always treated me like one of her own daughters. I will miss her beautiful heart and enormous capacity to love, her warm, sweet smile that would fill the room with sunshine and her sharp wit and playful humour - she could always make me laugh!! I know my dear Auntie is in a better place, free of worldly pains and woes and is surrounded by family and friends that have gone on before. And I know she is cooking up a storm for my Dad as they watch over us all... I will never forget you my dearest Auntie Olly...until we meet again. Love always and ever, Leah - Posted by: Leah Dupuis (Niece) on: Feb 15, 2013
