Lydia L. Olsavsky 1957-2023

She was born March 21, 1957, in Youngstown, a daughter of Warren Allen Roller and the late Elizabeth Ferrelli Roller. She graduated from Canfield High School in 1975.

Following graduation, she attended Trumbull Memorial Hospital Nurses’ Training Program and graduated in 1978. She was employed as a nurse at Trumbull Memorial Hospital until she married and became a mother. She then devoted several years to raising her family before resuming her nursing career.

Lydia was currently employed at Trumbull Correctional Institute.

Lydia’s greatest joy in life came from caring for others. She touched many lives and made it a point to make all those she encountered feel so important and loved. Her children feel exceptionally blessed to have had her as their mother.
