Olga A. Korolov Obituary (1947 - 2023)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Olga A. Korolov, affectionately known by her loved ones as Olya, on November 2, 2023. Born on March 31, 1947 in Russia, Olga lived a life full of creativity and generosity. Olga spent most of her life in Corning, New York, after previously residing in Leningrad, Italy, Syracuse, and Cortland. Her creative spirit found expression in multiple arenas, from gardening to art, jewelry-making to beekeeping, and even cheese-making. Olga's creative endeavors were recognized in her lifetime with exhibitions of her icons and quilts, and she was even featured in a Cortland Standard newspaper article for her unique contributions to the local art scene. What mattered to Olga most was her children and loved ones. Her friends describe her as a kind and caring friend and a good mother. She cherished the time she spent gathering wild mushrooms, herbs, and berries with her loved ones, discussing philosophy, literature, and life for hours on end. Olga lived her life exactly as she wanted, surrounded by her children and her plants in the home she owned. Olga is survived by her daughters, Maria and Katerina Korolov, and her sons, Paul, Constantine, Peter, and Alex Korolov; her sister, Kate Aronstein; her mother, Serafima Trebko; and her beloved grandchildren: Anastasia Korolov, Vasilli Trombly, Ruslana and Lara Korolov, Radha Grip, and her nephew, Roman Aronstein and his daughter, Violet. She also leaves behind Victor and Cindy Korolov and Charlie Hedges, Colby Westervelt, and Alexander Raykov. Olga was preceded in death by her father, Aleksei Ivanov. Olga's radiant spirit and unwavering devotion to her loved ones will be missed dearly. In her last year of life, her primary concern was the well-being of the people she loved, a testament to her generous heart. We invite all who were touched by Olga's life to share their memories and upload photos to memorial page at www.haugheyfuneralhome.com. It is in remembering her that we keep her spirit alive. Olga's family has entrusted her care to Haughey Funeral Home, Inc.
