Olga was blessed with 8 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings, Andy (Shirley) Meier, Alice Ryks and Herb (Bette) Meier. Along with her husband, Edwin, Olga was predeceased by her parents, Reinhold and Lena Meier; son, Wayne Bollinger; son-in-law, Brian Waldbauer; grandson, Chuck Hauck; brother-in-law, Robert Ryks as well as a dear friend, Doug Mapstone.
