Olga Bondarovich, age 83 of Wayne, died peacefully after a brief illness on Wednesday, July 16, 2014. She has been a Wayne resident since 1963.
Olga graduated from Garfield High School and was Prom Queen of the class of 1948. She met her husband Walter shortly thereafter during a dance at Three Saints Church. They danced the whole night together, but neglected to exchange phone numbers. It was a year later before their paths would cross again in Monroe, NY. Walter had been working the summer at the Arrow Farm Resort when, by sheer coincidence, Olga showed up! After that, they never parted. They were married on August 12, 1950 and, despite Walter accidentally lighting her vail on fire with a candle, they’ve enjoyed nearly sixty four years of loving and devoted marriage together. They loved to dance and knew many of the Russian folk dances.
Olga was an avid reader and a wonderful cook. She loved to host the holiday meals such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, with her family all gathered around her. She loved flowers, particularly Gardenias. She was a gifted Balalaika player; self-taught nonetheless and she had a profound appreciation for all the arts. She inspired her daughters in this regard as well and they recall her being a very hands-on mom; loving and encouraging. Olga’s favorite role of all was as a grandmother. She truly loved her grandson, Karl, Jr. and would spend time with him as often as possible. They will all miss her dearly.
Olga is survived by her husband Walter of Wayne, two daughters; Elaine Brady and her husband James of Maryland, and Diane Wehrenberg and her husband Karl of Lake Hopatcong, and one grandson; Karl, Jr..
