Olga Née Chicka Stanimir

It is with great sadness, yet with joyful memories, that we announce the peaceful passing of Olga Chicka Stanimir on the 30th April 2020 at the age of ninety-seven. Known to her loved ones as Baba, Olga truly lived a full life, driven by her tireless dedication to her dearest late husband William Stanimir and her family.

Olga's life began in Pointe St-Charles, where she grew up as part of Montreal's Ukrainian community.

With her husband, Olga moved from the Pointe to Rosemont and then to Town of Mount-Royal, where she raised her four children. As a mother and wife, she was known for her subtle yet unwavering strength and for her sweetness as a grandmother and great-grandmother.

She always loved to travel, but her happiest times where in St-Donat by the lake where many large family gatherings took place. Baba always enjoyed being surrounded by her grandchildre and great-grandchildren, her prideand joy late in life.

Predeceased by her beloved husband William Stanimir, her sister Alicia, and her brother Stanley. Olga was the loving mother of Gerald(Carol Andarakis), Philip, Lillian(Desmond Clarke) and William Jr.(Michele Kosich). Baba to Michael(Anik), Mark(Stacey), Matthew(Ceri), Emerson(Fiona), Justin, Ryan(Taylor), Chelsea, Caroline, Weston and Morgana.
