Lamont centenarian reaches 103

BY JANA SEMENIUK

Lamont resident Olga Koroluk reached an incredible milestone by turning 103 years old on July 11.

Currently living at the Lamont Nursing Home, Koroluk said that although her lifetime of memories are fading, she still remembers her family and loves to spend time with them.

“I love spending time with my family,” she said, her face brightening as she talked about them.

“I just love when they come to visit.”

According to a previous article written about Koroluk’s life, her nephew Ed Koroluk said that Koroluk and her husband managed several businesses ranging from a feed mill to a hotel in Lloydminster and the Pocahontas Cabins in Jasper.

“She and her husband were business people in Edmonton for many years,” said Ed, noting he went into the hardware business with his aunt and uncle until he retired at 67.

“Olga was his righthand woman, even though she was a home- maker,” he said. “And somewhere along the line they inherited me.”

The couple never had any children.

Meanwhile, Ed noted, in the previous news article, that his aunt enjoyed gardening in addition to church activities and was a member of the St. Basil’s Ladies Club in Edmonton.
