Obituary of OLGA MAUGHAN

Olga Maughan (nee Homeniuk) It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Olga on Thursday, February 20, 2020 at the St. Boniface Hospital after a short illness at the age of 89. Olga is survived by her daughter Barbara (Kevin) and her son Douglas (Cona). She is also survived by her treasured grandchildren Trevor (Nichole), Beckki, Caitlin (Arron), and Jordan, and her adored great-grandchildren Dexter and Sophia. Mom is also survived by her brother-in-law Jack and her nieces, nephews, and cousins. She will be missed by all of us. Olga was predeceased by her husband Robert (Bob), parents George and Anastasia, sisters Mary, Sophie (Nick), Ann (Steve), and brothers William and John. She was also predeceased by her in-laws Robert and Rebecca, Margaret (Theo), Jim (Marion), Joyce, and nieces and nephews. Mom was born in Winnipeg on September 3,1930 and lived most of her life from her early years to her final days in the family home in Point Douglas. Although she would travel and enjoy her adventures, she always felt most comfortable at and in her home. Mom took great pride in her yard, tending to her garden and her flower beds. In full bloom it was a sight to see! Olga's careers included working at Eaton's in the Mail Order Department and at the Donut House. We can't ever recall our mom calling in late or taking a sick day. Mom had a strong work ethic that she instilled in all of us. Her family was her priority. She was always in the know with what we were up to and was always happy to be in the conversation while sharing her good advice along the way. Mom had other interests and hobbies including bowling (with her sisters Sophie and Ann), fishing, and BINGO. Mom was an excellent baker. Tried and true recipes were always at the ready; however, she also liked to test new recipes too. Her pumpkin pie, holobchi, and pyrohy were delicious. Our mother was a gift to fashion designers. She was always leading the way in fashion trends and always shopped for the best look at the best price. She turned many heads with her beauty and elegance. On Olga's behalf, the family would like to acknowledge the compassionate care she received from the health care professionals, medical team, and support staff while at the St. Boniface Hospital and throughout the last few years. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, March 6, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Forever in Our Hearts
