She was born January 25, 1924 in Lugny, Ukraine, Russia the daughter of Josef and Anna Wigowski. The beginning of life’s journey for Olga was one that was filled with uncertainty and a knowledge that the world could be a very difficult place to grow-up and learn how to survive. In her early adulthood
she met and married the love of her life, Albert Rosin. After leaving their home town for their safety, the couple stayed in a refugee camp, with their three children, until a wonderful opportunity came their way and they were able to come to America. This new adventure brought them to Troy, NH to work for the Troy Mills. Olga worked there for forty years until she retired.
She and her family were able to settle into their new life and enjoy many of the things that life in America meant. She was a devoted wife, mother and “Grammy”. Her home was often filled with the aroma of the delicious foods that she would make. Although her life had changed so much from her
youth she taught her family many of the wonderful recipes that were from her homeland. Some of her family’s favorites included her stuffed cabbage, "galumpskies", pierogis and her famous blueberry cheesecake.
Olga also held a special place in her heart for animals and enjoyed the companionship of the many four-legged companions that she opened her home and her heart to. She also enjoyed taking trips to Foxwood Casino where she would try her hand at the slots; most of the time she was very lucky and
would come home with her proud winnings.
Olga is survived by her sons, Walter Rosin and Alexander Rosin and his wife Janis; grandchildren, Maria, Lisa, Melinda, Jennifer, Heidi, Alex, Topaz “Nikki”, Isis, Randy and Hollis; thirteen great-grandchildren, numerous great-great-grandchildren and several extended family members.
