I didn’t know about Olga’s passing until today. I always admired her artistic flair and she always looked well below her actual age. She was always cooking. She took care of her mom, her husband Rocky, and her grandson Kris diligently with determination and love. She was a strong woman, very intelligent, and had a great sense of humor and I will miss her and remember her with fondness and appreciation.
