REINBOLT, Ollie - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beautiful beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Ollie Reinbolt on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at the age of 75.

Survived by her loving husband Al of 52 years, two sons Rick (Connie) Reinbolt of Prince George and Rory (Linda) Reinbolt of Terrace, her cherished grandchildren Jeremy, Joshua, Emily, Francesca, Ben, Mitchell, Sam, and brother Ed Sidoruk of Dawson Creek. Sadly predeceased by parents John and Barbara Sidoruk, brother Peter, sisters Anne, Natalie, Marika and brother Bill.

Ollie was born and raised in Spirit River, Alberta. She met Al in Edmonton and they moved to Fort St. John in 1962 to start their life together. Ollie spent her life supporting Al in his work and raising her two boys and providing a loving and caring home. Ollie enjoyed all aspects of raising her family including; cheering her boys on in their sports activities, cooking delicious meals, taking the time to play games and be her boys’ best friend. She was proud of Al’s accomplishments and took pride in doing her part in the home to support her family. Ollie was always lots of fun to be around and people of all ages enjoyed her company. Faith was important to Ollie. She was a member of the CWL for many years. Ollie’s love of family grew stronger with the addition of each of her 7 grandchildren. Her grandchildren remember her cool sense of style, her giving nature and her ability to make each of them feel very special. Her daughter in laws enjoyed her friendship and wisdom and her many wonderful recipes. In 1991 Ollie and Al retired to sunny Kelowna or as she used to call it, the Hawaii of Canada. Ollie battled through each of her health issues with courage, determination and faith. She died peacefully in the love and care of her precious family.

The family will always be grateful to the caring and compassionate staff of Sutherland Hills Rest Home where Ollie spent the last months of her life. The family also wishes to thank Dr. Tereposky and the 4th floor staff of Kelowna General Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to St. Charles Garnier Roman Catholic Parish.

Prayers will be held Monday, July 18, 2011 at 6:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC with a Funeral Mass on Tuesday, Jul 19, 2011 at 10:30 am at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC.
