The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Sunday, September 10, 2017, page 6a-7a Olga Felber. This is a belated testimonial for my mother, Olga Felber, who passed on May 15, 2017. My father passed about two years ago and when he left us, I placed a commemoration to him in the Daily Courier addressing all the volunteer services he had contributed to the community, and more. However, when my mother died I was devastated and am still struggling with letting her go. She rightly deserves tons of accolades for what she has done in her life. She was the ultimate homemaker with four star culinary expertise. She was constantly serving large dinner parties and whenever people were invited be it doctors or laborers around the house they were licking their lips and showed up to enjoy the festivities. She did it mostly on her own from scratch and usually served six to eight people. She was also very gifted with knitting and made loads of sweaters some with girls and boys holding hands all the way around and many other special designs. She also created rug size tapestries of incredible detail. But above all she was a peaceful compassionate human being that wouldn’t hurt a fly. I say that because when I was younger I would observe her catching flies by scooping them into her hand. She was really good at it!! Then she would open up the front door and release the fly. Both Ma and Pa received their last wishes to be able to die at home. Dad requested his ashes be spread on top of Granite Mountain and when the time came my sister and I hiked up there and dispersed his ashes into the wind and got some incredible pictures of his white cloud whispering across the mountain. My mother’s request was to be put on Thumb Butte. When she passed my sister and Mom’s great poodle, Molly (who still misses her so much), hiked up together and after a bit of rustling through off the trails brush we found the perfect spot looking directly at Granite Mountain. Mom, if you hear me up there, we didn’t forget you. You deserve more than a testimonial for all of the things you have done. We think of you every day. Information provided by survivors. |
