Poetic Obituaries: [Olga Henrietta "Gaga"] Husby also loved to laugh

and shared some of her humor and feelings about her everyday life in her poetry.

In her poem "Why is it?" published in a woman's magazine in 1965, she wrote: "Why is it no one comes to visit . . . when my house is in order and everything's fine? I have refreshments galore, even some wine. But then the day comes when things are a mess. There's dust on the floor and webs on the ceiling. Things couldn't look more unappealing. There's a knock on the door. Oh heaven, who is it? Just two 'friendly' ladies coming to visit."
