OLGA BOESE Mom was the sixth child of a family of seven children, born on March 14, 1924 to German descent parents, the late Adam and Justine (nee Herbstreit) Reich in Cesarin, Poland. She spent her childhood on the family farm. After the war, she resettled in Germany where she married Dad on October 16, 1949. A daughter was born and in 1952 the family travelled to Canada aboard the "Beaverbrae". She worked in the dry cleaning industry, sewing industry, and also did housekeeping for many years. In the summer she enjoyed working in the garden and always had beautiful flowers in the yard. The winter months were occupied by doing crochet, quilting, and needlework. She prepared wonderful meals and the freezer was always stocked with baking. After years of health challenges, the dear Lord granted her eternal rest the morning of September 3, 2018, at the age of 94. She was predeceased by her husband Ewald on July 1, 2015; brothers, Wilhelm and Adolph; her sisters, Maria, Elsie, Berta and Melinda. She is survived by her daughter Hiltrud. Thank you to Palliative Care which enabled Mom to stay at home; also a grateful appreciation to the home care team for their extra support during the past few months.
