Olga Patterson

Our dear mother Olga Vítová Patterson passed away on October 31, 2024, at the age of 97. 

Olga was born in the Czech Republic and immigrated to the United States in 1958. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance. A friend to many, she was a cherished member of the community, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and strength.

 She was predeceased by her mother Albína Vítová, father Jan Vít, her sisters Miluše Chyšková, Karla Vítová, and her brother Jiří Vít. Olga leaves behind her daughters Anastasia Moore, Shakurra Amatulla, Antoinette Freeman, Monika Kangas, and Bernadette Clark. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Michelle Payelian, James O. Moore II, Steven Kangas, Olivia Marchetti, Sarah Clark, Avery Freeman, Ambrose Freeman, Abigail Freeman, Melissa Thompson, Kay Lindsey-Senderovich, Naseema McElroy and Aisha Bent. She had 11 great grandchildren. Her brother Zdenĕk Vít and his wife Zdeňka Vítová reside in the Czech Republic. 

Olga had an unparalleled gift for dressmaking. Her hands spun magic, creating exquisite bridal gowns that made countless cherished moments even more special. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish and run successful businesses like Olga's Bridal, and later, Anastasia's Bridal. As she entered her golden years, Olga shifted gears, enchanting her community with her Victorian crafts showcased at various fairs and craft shows.

To commemorate her incredible journey and to celebrate the love she spread a memorial service to be held at Mack Funeral Home in Gardner, MA, on Monday, December 2, 2024, from 5:30-7 pm. We invite all who knew her to join us in remembering a truly remarkable woman.
