Bio
Louie Olsovsky (Oly) died peacefully at home on May 25, 2024 at the age of 96. He was born in Elm Mott, TX on January 27, 1928. At the age of 20, Louie enlisted in the Air Force and served for 4 years as a Radio Operator, 3 of which were during the Korean War. Upon returning home in 1952, he purchased his first love - a brand new Mercury. Soon after, Louie drove that Mercury to the Ross Dance Hall and met the true love of his life, Evelyn Polansky from Tours, TX. They married on July 18, 1953 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bellmead, TX. The family recently celebrated their 70th anniversary. Shortly before marriage, Louie started working at Ling, Tempo, Vought (LTV) and retired after 38 years. During his time at LTV working as an aircraft electrician, he was given the nickname Oly. Oly enjoyed watching and critiquing the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. He was an avid baseball/softball player and coach. He played on several senior softball teams (local and traveling) up until the age of 82 and also coached many of his children's baseball and softball teams. Louie was a huge fan and mentor to his grandchildren in their sports endeavors. He worked on just about everything that was electrical or motorized, especially lawn equipment, and would spend hours in 'The Red Barn' tinkering on anything family, friends, and neighbors needed repaired. His other passions were farming, gardening, and dancing. Louie enjoyed dancing and listening to Polka music and watching Molly B and Polka Joe on TV. Evelyn and Louie had 10 children total, 8 surviving - Louis Wayne Olsovsky (Connie), Carol E Smith (Harold), Sharon K Pope (Craig), Delores A Farrell (Jim), Robert J Olsovsky, Leslie J Olsovsky, Mary A Dryden (Ben), and James H Olsovsky (Joann). Grandchildren include J Shane Tyree, Heath Preston, Matt Olsovsky, Jessie Lancaster, Aaron Olsovsky, Dana Smith, Jena' Tyree-Miklaw, Clint Smith, Sean Simmons, Dean Simmons, Dustin Olsovsky, Trey Dryden, Ariana Dryden, Austin Olsovsky, and Dalton Olsovsky. Great grandchildren include Keller Tyree, Zachary Preston, Kendall Olsovsky, Colby Olsovsky, Hudson Olsovsky, Jaxon Smith, Patrick Smith, Nathan Smith, Atlas McCarty, and Waylon Dryden. Louie is survived by his sister, Teresa Compton, and many nieces and nephews that he cherished. He was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Bertha (Wachsmann) Olsovsky, and his loving sisters –Bertha Kousal, Irene Patterson, Louise Walters, Dorothy Hykel, and Lena Kallus – and children, Angela Olsovsky and Paul Olsovsky.
