Farewell to Pat

Pat Olszewski, one of the original residents of Wilderness Rim died in June. She, and her husband Ski, built their Rim home themselves and were active in Rim management since the late 1960s. They were instrumental in getting the Rim both water meters and fire hydrants. Pat was employed in the office back in the days before computers. She also volunteered countless hours to the Association as a Board member, serving as president and other offices. Her favorite position was as Chairwoman of the Park Committee as she loved Cascade Park where several trees are planted in her honor. Her memory will remain as an inspiration and challenge to other residents to give back to their community. Her indomitable spirit and keen sense of humor are missed.
