Betty Jean Olshaskie

Betty Jean Olshaskie of Lodi passed away in Sacramento at the age of 68 on November 29, 2005.

Mrs. Olshaskie was born in Shelbyville, Illinois on November 11, 1937 to Joseph Apple and Clara Foelsing. She married Thornton Garrett Olshaskie on December 14, 1958 in Shelbyville, Illinois. They moved to California in the late 1960?s and eventually settled in Union City, moving to Lodi in 2002. She was a case worker for the County of Alameda Social Welfare Department for 15 years before retiring in 2001.

She enjoyed gardening, cooking, shopping, traveling, and decorating. With a child-like passion she enjoyed visiting casinoís and would spend hours pulling reels on the nickel slot machines hoping for her jackpot, no matter how small. Allotting herself $20 to spend, she would somehow make it last throughout her hours of fun.

Her main passion in life was in spending time with and talking with her children and grandchildren. She spent her entire life trying to ensure their happiness and wellbeing. Her own needs and wants always took a backseat when it came to her children as she strived to always be there for them no matter the need, no matter the situation. She taught her children the true meaning of unconditional love and gifted them with the eternal feeling in their hearts of her powerful love.

Her loss will be painfullyfelt by those who loved her from the deepest depths of their heart and soul leaving a hole which can never be filled.

Mrs. Olshaskie is survived by her husband, Thornton Olshaskie of Lodi; daughters, Ricki Lynn Sullivan of Nokomis, Illinois, Kelly Jean Olshaskie, Lori Anne Olshaskie, both of Lodi, sons, Robert Allen Olshaskie of Arroyo Grande and Steven Lee Olshaskie of El Dorado Hills; 12 grandchildren, Gary Fisher, Sarah and Josh Sullivan, Erin Harris, Richard, Rhiannon and Ian Rodriquez, Ryan and Alexandra Hodge, Joshua and Holli Arrieta, Olivia Ton Olshaskie; 1great grandchild, Dayvin Fisher, sisters, Dorothy Arthur, Carol Muto; brothers, Donald, Bill, James and Richard Apple. She was preceded in death by her grandsons Larry Don Fisher and Evan Garrett Rodriquez.
