Olga Leon Obituary

LEON, OLGA, The Spillis Candela DMJM family mourns the passing of Olga Leon, an Associate with our firm. An accomplished architect with over thirty years experience in all phases of architectural design and construction, Olguita received her degree in architecture from the University of Havana in 1967, and was instrumental in many of the firms signature projects, such as the Republic Bank Building, the Omni Colonnade, Douglas Entrance in Coral Gables, and the Metromover North Extension and Museum Tower in downtown Miami, among many others. Olguita was revered as a friend and colleague by several generations of architects and engineers in our firm. We will all deeply miss her professionalism, warmth and great heart.

I am deeply saddened at the loss of Olga.



I had lost touch - caught up in my crazy life - and never had the time. Now it's too late. She was always very nice to me, always loving and kind.



I love her and will always remember her as an example of the kind of person I would like to be.



My father loved her and her brothers very much - and was always proud (with good reason).



I will never forget her smile.
