I flew out to Las Vegas in January and got to see Olga one last time. We reminisced over old times when she would call me to change a light bulb or other such minor emergency, and we would have coffee and cookies and enjoyed each other's company. Olga was very kind to me and I'll miss her a lot. Good bye dear friend.

Olga was a dear friend and Siena neighbor. We loved her, her spunk, spirit and zest for life. Even now she is 'dancing with the stars.' Rest in peace, with Leo by your side. With deepest sympathy, Rose Mary & Bill Glass

I was her pet sitter on and off over the years walking Ginger for her. Olga was a lovely full of energy strong lady. I would see her driving her golf cart around Siena with joy. She will be missed.
