Bodnar, Olga
January 1, 1933 - August 12, 2023
Ollie Bodnar passed away peacefully at the Meaford Hospital on Saturday, August 12, 2023, still proudly living on her own at the age of 90.
Born in Mayfair, SK. on a rural farm on Jan 1, 1933, she was a daughter of the late Mary Marie (1896-1988) and Michael Earnest (1893-1970) Bodnar, who immigrated from Ukraine in 1923 to find a better life.
Predeceased by her sister, Mary Marie, and her brothers, Bill, Tony, Nick and John; as well as, her son, Arthur MacLeod.
Lovingly remembered and missed by her children – Mary Anne and Gary Barnett, John and Lana MacLeod, and Debbie and Gary Shaw.
Loving Grandma to Chris and Shawn, Jenna and John James, Vanessa and Wade. Great Grandma to Kaleb, Everleigh, Shawn Jr, Rellen, Mason, Elizabeth, Maelle, Baron and Harlow. She will be fondly remembered by numerous nieces and nephews. And will be remembered as a Loving Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma and Friend to Us All.
Although Mom was small, she worked hard at whatever she did and was liked by all; working at various jobs in her life in Montreal, Toronto and Alliston before retiring in Meaford.
She will be missed by her friends and their meet-ups at Timmie’s, where she easily made more friends.
As per Mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service.
A celebration of life for Mom, will be held at a later date.
A special thanks to the EMS Attendants, Nurses and Doctors at the Meaford Hospital, who looked after Mom in her last few days.

Mrs. Bodnar was such a lovely lady. I had the pleasure of knowing her through her family doctors office for many years. She always had a smile on her face and something pleasant and kind to say. It was always a treat to see her come through the door at the office. She will be missed!
