Olga L. Hoskins, age 74 of Wayne died on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Olga had lived in Wayne for over thirty years and had recently resided in Wanaque at the Wanaque Reserve.
Olga was a proud Bronx native. She graduated from Mary Mount High School where she was captain of her basketball team and was on the equestrian team. She even rode horseback in Central Park on several occasions. She continued on to Mary Mount College and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree. She was very proud of her alma maters, both high school and college, and was grateful for the quality education she received.
Her first job found her working in New York City. When the company moved to Florida, she went too. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Luxembourg where she worked for an airline. It was there that her father encouraged her to learn to speak French. Her father was Corsican and her mother, Cuban, which meant being multi-lingual was not only important, but essentially a requirement for her. Spanish was her native tongue, and of course she could also speak English. Her father was rather strict and insisted that she learn to speak each language without any accent, and she did it.
She eventually settled in Wayne in 1975 and lived there for more than thirty years before moving to Wanaque Reserve in Wanaque just five years ago. Her children recall what a wonderful cook she was. Her Spanish Pork was fantastic, she made a great pot roast, and her black beans and rice were the best. As a family, they travelled quite a bit and Olga had been throughout Europe, South America, Africa, Corsica, Monaco, Aruba and the Caribbean, taking many of those trips with her children.
Olga’s faith was very important to her and she was a devoted parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation in Wayne and more recently at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Haskell, where she attended Mass regularly. She was very close with her cousin, the Reverend Robert Arce, who is a priest at St. Mary Margaret Parish in the Bronx. Father Robert will be celebrating her Funeral Mass at St. Francis Parish on Monday.
Olga is survived by her two loving children; Yvonne Hoskins of Oak Ridge and Michael Hoskins and his wife Kathy of Lincoln Park, two grandchildren; Michael and Tyler Hoskins of Lincoln Park, NJ, her brother; John Natali and his wife Peggy of Fairfield, her dear cousins; Reverend Robert Arce of Bronx, NY and Ida Cederdahl of Neptune, NJ, as well as many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society, 20 Mercer Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601 would be greatly appreciated.
