12th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

†OLLIE (ZENOVIA) DIGNARD- FUNERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

It is with deep sadness we announce that on Monday, August 10, Ollie Dignard, a founder and benefactor of St. Elias Parish, reposed peacefully in the Lord at the age of 98.

The St. Elias community owes Ollie a great debt of gratitude for securing the property our church sits on today. The miracle of how she accomplished this will be told at our 50th Anniversary Celebration. Ollie was deeply involved in every aspect of parish life until her health declined and she was no longer able to participate. The stories are countless...including the time she rode her horse to our praznyk picnic.

Only a few members of Ollie’s family are able to gather now to say goodbye, but our parish family will fill the gap. On Monday, August 17, after the service, she will be taken for cremation, with final interment to take place at her family plot in Manitoba. The family is planning a 40th-Day Memorial at St. Elias when more relatives can be present. Further details will follow.

Please keep the newly reposed Ollie, her children and their families in your prayers at this time. Vichnaya Pamyat' Memory Eternal.
