Olga Bourgeois Metz, 82, was lovingly know as Tootie. She left us on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016. Through her devout devotion to her Catholic faith, we are confident that she is resting in the arms of Jesus and reunited with her husband and son.

She was a very vibrant person who loved to have fun, laugh, and spend time with friends and family. Was married to Richard Lorance Metz, had 4 children (Robert, Jennifer, Pamela, and the late infant Eric), 4 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, and one more on the way.

Tootie suffered from Parkinson's Disease for 32 years. She fought this disease with every fiber in her being, determined to live a normal and active life. She only relied on the help of others when it was no longer in her own capabilities. Even with her limitations, she always lived her life with dignity and poise. She was loved by all who knew her.
