Olga passed away peacefully at Dryden Regional Health Center on March 20, 2023 at 88 years of age.
Olga’s final hours were spent filled with love and comfort with her beloved sister Angie, dear friends Terry Bell and Maurice Betournay, at her side. Olga left this life as she lived it – with grace, humility, unwavering strength and a selfless loving heart.
Olga was predeceased by her husband William (Bill)Woitowicz, son Garry, granddaughter Cindy, parents Helen and Nick Medvid, and brothers Bill, Michael, Matt and Almer. Olga is survived by her sister Angeline Medvid, brothers Orest Medvid and Ken Neckay, and her brood of nieces and nephews.
Olga lived a full happy life, leaving her mark on the hearts of all that met her. Olga was generous beyond measure, supporting numerous charities over the years, donating 80 acres of land for a wildlife sanctuary, and tirelessly volunteering in the Dryden community that she deeply loved. Olga will be remembered as a strong, generous, loving and feisty lady. Always quick with a joke or an opinion and could always be counted on if you needed a helping hand.
You will be deeply missed. Rest easy now Auntie Olga, we will carry on rich in the values you have left with us. The family would like to thank Dr. Barrie for her care and compassion.

March 26, 2023 at 7:34 pmTo Olga’s family,
I have many fond memories of Olga. Olga always had something good for us to eat when Garry would drag half a dozen or so of us home from school with him. My mom went to Olga to get her hair done. Sometimes I would go with Mom to get a haircut. What fun we would have joking, laughing & telling tales while we were there. In later years every time we saw each other we always took a little time to catch up. Olga always brought a smile to my face, especially when she would remind me what bratty teenagers we were, but loved us anyway!
Rest peacefully dear Olga.
Much love to Olga’s family.
Sincerely,
Francine (Toussaint) Higgins
