Olga Kogol Patchin, a former long time resident of Deloit, Iowa, was born on September 9, l916 in Chicago, Illinois, to John and Tatiana Kaplar Kogal. She died Friday, November 24, 2006 at Rose Vista Nursing Home in Woodbine, Iowa, at the age of 90. She had seven younger sisters and one older brother. She attended Wells High School and quit in her junior year to work as a domestic and later worked in a furniture slipcover factory until her marriage. She attended the Russian Evangelical Church and the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago as a young woman and sang in the choir. She also worked in a booth at the 1933 Worlds Fair.

She met Lonald Ellsworth Patchin at a skating rink where she asked him to be her partner in a ladies' choice. Lonald was in the Army Air Corp stationed in Chicago at the Stevens Hotel. They married on January 23, 1943 and moved to Eagle Pass, Texas, where Lonald was stationed and Olga worked in the PX. After the war they moved to Schleswig, Iowa for a few years and then to Deloit.

Lon and Olga had four children: Laura and husband Mark Westermeyer of Woodbine; Lonald and wife Jan of Schleswig; Eileen Patchin (deceased); and Sandra Ohlund of Harlan. There are five grandchildren: Scott and Susan Patchin of Suffolk, Virginia; Greg and Patricia Patchin of Fort Collins, Colorado; Christy Schurke of Chandler, Arizona; Michelle Schurke of Omaha, Nebraska; and Grant Ohlund of Harlan, Iowa. There are also five great-grandchildren.

Lon and Olga always did gardening together and sold sweet corn and other vegetables from their home in Deloit. She also enjoyed working in her flower beds. She worked as a waitress for many years at several restaurants and in the kitchen at the Red Lantern Steak House. She enjoyed sewing, reading, cooking, shopping, and traveling to visit her family in Chicago and Culver City, California. She enjoyed going to events in which her children and grandchildren took part. She was a 60 year member of the American Legion Auxiliary post 690 of Deloit and was a member of the RLDS/COC Church of Deloit and later Denison, Iowa. In late 2004 Lon and Olga moved to Rose Vista Nursing Home in Woodbine. Lon passed away in March of 2005.
