Ollie was born in Brightstone, Manitoba on December 12, 1932, the 12th of 13 children in the Anna and Alex Soroka family. Mom moved to Winnipeg for work and then returned to Lac du Bonnet and married Laurence in 1951, where they raised their family. Olga was the inspiration and co-owner of Campbell's Foods in Lac du Bonnet, were she worked along with her sons for almost 30 years. Many a customer missed her when she retired. She loved to sew and knit. Any family member, who wanted a sweater, had at least one knitted Ollie Sweater. In her spare time she would knit mitts, and donate hundreds of pairs yearly, to charities. She loved to visit and coffee with her relatives and friends. Ollie is predeceased by her parents, her husband Laurence (Dick) of 48 years as well as 11 of her bothers and sisters. She is survived by her children Dick (Bonnie), Jack (Sheilah), Bill (Laurie) and Laurie (Steve), nine grandchildren, Caryn, Alan, Shaun, Melissa, Sharon, Janet, Laurence, Alex and Katie (spouses and special Friends), four great-grandchildren, Colton, Darius, Abigail, Xander and sisters-in-law Pauline, Stella and Olga, as well as many nieces and nephews and long time friends Minnie and Lorette, who all had a special place in her heart. "Auntie Ollie who wrote the book on love and loyalty with thanks from the heart for all you do and all you are." This quote written by niece Maureen describes mom perfectly The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and medical staff for all their kindness and special care provided to our mother while in Pinawa.

We only made it to Lac Du Bonnet a few times for family events, Ollie was always so kind and treated myself and Ashley like we were family. And of course she spoiled Colton as he was her great grandchild. I hope there's a slot machine in heaven with her name on it. She will enjoy that I'm sure. Rest in peace Ollie.
