Olga (Martin) Keyes, 94, died peacefully Thursday at Good Samaritan Hospice, Cabot, seven months after her husband of 67 years died at the age of 96.

Olga was born Aug. 24, 1914, in Brooklyn, N.Y., to the late John and Louisa Martin.

Olga moved to Springdale in 1925, where she and her extended family lived on James Street until she married and moved to New Kensington. She lived there until moving to Concordia five years ago.

She was a homemaker and a 50-year member of St. Joseph Church, New Kensington.

Known and loved for her big heart and compassion, she was the beacon who was looked to in troubled times.

Olga loved to dance, garden, read and travel. Always adventurous, at age 80 she climbed to the top of Machu Picchu in Peru.

Her relationships were lifelong, and she always focused on the positive. Olga accepted people as they were and took life as it came. Her quick wit and sense of humor never diminished.

Olga was adored by her sons, Phil and his partner, Jody Bikoff, of St. Petersburg, Fla., Bill and his wife, Mary Davis, of St. Paul, Minn., and Dennis and his wife, Marg, of Karns City; her daughters, Claire and her husband, Joel Aaronson, of Pittsburgh and Denise and her partner, Rob Lesko, of Cowansville; four grandchildren, Michael, Jason, Hallie Harenski and Christine Garrott; and a great-grandchild, Meadow.
