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.
