Zdesenko, Olga
Passed away peacefully at Sunnybrook Palliative Care on Thursday, December 15, 2016 in her 66th year.
Beloved mother of Maria and Katya, proud grandmother of Leeza, daughter of the late Kapitalina Kostyakova and Lev Kostyakov.
Born on March 31, 1951 in Novosibirsk (Siberia), Russia. Graduated from Omsk State University of Physical Culture
Olga spent over 30 years of her life as a professional athlete and a fencing coach. She was a member of the USSR national fencing team having won multiple competitions including becoming a champion at 1973 Summer Universiade. In her career as a fencing coach, Olga touched many hearts and inspired and raised many great talents. Her lovely sense of humour, energetic personality and contagious laugher always lit up the room. She spoiled those around her with her kindness and generosity, strength and wisdom. The love we have for her and the memories that connect us will live on forever in our hearts and in our minds.
