Olga Gesiorowski
July 27, 1937 – October 13, 2017

Olga (nee Hrynkiw) Gesiorowski of Humboldt, SK (and formerly of Guernsey, SK) peacefully left behind her family and friends to be with the Lord and her beloved husband, Peter, on October 13, 2017 at the age of 80 years.  Olga was the youngest of six children born to Mike and Nettie (nee Petrasch) Hrynkiw on July 27, 1937 of the Burr District. Olga attended Pilot Grove School and after finishing school, she moved to Saskatoon.  Olga moved back to Humboldt when her mother became ill and she worked in the administrative department at St. Elizabeth’s  in Humboldt.  After a short courtship, Olga married Peter Gesiorowski on October 21, 1958.  Their union was blessed with a son Don, and a daughter Janet.  Olga worked alongside Peter on their mixed farm until their retirement in 1999.  After working outside all day with Dad, she still found time to bake, cook and complete the canning of each season  - mmm some of the best came out of that kitchen.  Mom loved to travel with Dad, going to Hawaii, Kitimat, South Dakota, Jasper and making many trips to Edmonton.  Mom’s love for gardening and flowers were evident on the farm and in the yard in Humboldt.  The transformations of prairie land into a magnificent garden were her pride and summer time hobby.  When mom’s health deteriorated, she became a pretty good supervisor keeping the yard just so.  In the winter, Mom spent hours creating needlepoint and petite point pictures.  She loved her pets, on the farm many kittens made it into the house as well as the dog.  Like Dad, Mom was one who helped everyone, no one was ever turned away.  She deeply loved her grandchildren and most recently a great-grandson; a light that shone in some of her darkest days.  “Treat yourself fairly, eat the delicious food, walk in the sunshine, walk in the rain, be kind, say the truth that is in your heart – there is no time for anything else.”  Olga will be lovingly remembered by her two children: Don (Frieda) Gesiorowski, and their daughters Mikaela and Erin; Janet Merkowsky (Larry Diduck) and sons Kyle (Lindsay) Meissner and their son Athrun, Ryan Meissner (Keren Lam); brother Ted (Fran) Hrynkiw; sister-in-law Olga Hrynkiw; brother-in-law Joe Gesiorowski; numerous nieces and nephews; and some of God’s greatest gifts - her many friends.  Olga was predeceased by her husband Peter Gesiorowski; parents Michael and Nettie (nee Petrasch) Hrynkiw; parents-in-law Charles and Annie Gesiorowski; sister Annie Bohachewski; brothers: Nick, John and Peter Hrynkiw; sister-in-law Phillis Gesiorowski; and brother-in-law Alex Bohachewski.  A Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, SK on Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 2:30 p.m., presided by Fr. Michael Yaremko. Others taking part were: Ron Hrynkiw, crossbearer; Frieda Gesiorowski and Annette Ellis, scripture readers; Kyle Meissner, intentions; Mikaela Gesiorowski and Erin Gesiorowski, giftbearers; Darlene Cash, Bev Schreiner and Gladys Hamilton, memorial table attendants; director, Loretta Schugmann with organist Marie Aubin and members of St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir, music ministry; Ryan Meissner, urnbearer.  Honorary Pallbearers were:  Kyle and Lindsay Meissner, Roman and Rita Thoms, Delmar and Rosella Braun, Murray and Janet Jasken and Leonard and Shirley Powell.  Interment followed at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery.  Memorial Donations may be directed to Stars Air Ambulance or the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation Palliative Care Unit.  The family would like to extend a special Thank You to Doctor Rosemarie Graf and the nursing staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the Humboldt District Hospital.
