NEWTON, Olga
September 9, 1931 – November 12, 2017

The family is sad to announce the passing of Olga Newton at Sagewood Age Care in Strathmore after a lengthy battle with dementia. She was predeceased by her loving husband Bud in 1997. Olga raised all her children in the same house on 3rd Ave in Strathmore where she and Bud lived all their life. The house grew as the family grew. She took great pride in maintaining a garden and home for all to enjoy. Fresh baking was always on and all were welcome. She is survived by many loving family members, daughter Debra (Terry) Dempsey, and grandchildren Brad (Melody) McClain and Deanne (Aaron) Kirk.

She is also survived by 12 great grandchildren, one brother, El (Noreen) Fedewich and three nieces with eight great nieces and nephews.
