She is survived by her spouse of 63 years, Art; children Vince (Penny) Sexton, Joyce (Dick) Ward, Ted (Carol) Sexton, Al (Noelleen) Sexton, Richard (Patti) Sexton and Gordon (Sandy) Sexton; 17 grandchildren; 6 great grandchildren; brothers Fred Kunkle and George Schierer; sister Violet Weir; two very special nieces, Carol and Candice; special nephews Ed and Robert, as well as many other nieces and nephews. Olga, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, was a kind, generous, hardworking woman, whose greatest joy was her family. She took great pleasure in her flower gardens and outdoor work such as fires, grass cutting and leaf raking, as well as playing cards. Olga was known for her wonderful meals and baking. She was the heart of the home and will be greatly missed. Special thanks to Lucy, who was always there for her and her family, as well as the caring nurses on 3rd floor at St. Joseph’s Hospital. A Service of Remembrance was held on Tuesday, July 29th from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Courtenay.

A cluster of beautiful

memories sprayed with a

million tears

Wishing God had spared you

for a few more years

Thanks for the years you gave

us and for the happy times we

shared.

We know that when you left us

You knew how much we cared

Again our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one our chain will link again.
