Olszewski, Irma Annette 85, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 10th at Palm Gardens of Vero Beach. She was the devoted wife of Carl Olszewski, and loving mother to Elaine, Ronald, and David.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Irma lived in Rhode Island for 77 years before moving to Vero Beach, Florida in 2006. She was an avid cook and baker, and will be remembered as the vibrant hostess of the family gatherings. Irma loved music and was a self-proclaimed "Krafty Lady," as she had talents for jewelry making, floral arranging, sewing, crocheting, and painting. While living in Rhode Island, she also devoted her time as a volunteer to local nursing homes.

In addition to wife and mother, Irma was the beloved grandmother to Michelle of Warwick, RI, Michael and Bridget of Orlando, FL, and Tara and James of Cranston, RI and the adoring great-grandmother to Cameron. She was a loving aunt, caring cousin, and friend to many.

Arrangements will take place in Vero Beach and will be held privately. The family of Irma would like to extend a special "thank you" to the staff at Palm Gardens and to Treasure Coast Hospice for the loving care that they provided.
