Celebration of the Life of Olga Santi
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Olga Santi Garcia, 97, of Easton on Thursday, February 2, 2023. Born on August 25, 1925 in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico, she was a daughter of the late Roque Santi Galletti and Maria Garcia Reyes.
Olga was a master seamstress for many years working with different designers until she retired. Later in life she worked as a seamstress for Curto Toys, and for Crayola in Easton. In New York City she was a member of Hijos de Ponce and was a volunteer interpreter at the World Trade Center. Olga raised her children to believe in God and was known for her unwavering dedication to helping those in need.
For many years, Olga (la abuelita) opened her doors to provide shelter and support to the homeless in her neighborhood. Her home was a sanctuary for those who had nowhere else to turn, and her kindness and generosity touched the lives of countless individuals. Above all, she greatly cherished time spent with her family.
Grandma Olga was predeceased by the following family members; her beloved siblings; Jose Santi, Amadeo Santi, Dolores Santi and Manuel Santi.
Survivors: Olga will be lovingly remembered by her son, Jose Talavera and wife Maria, her daughter, Olga Jacques and husband Frantz; grandchildren, Neici Talavera, Sariel Alessi, Joni Talavera, Lizette Miller, Melissa Sicard, Jonathan Jacques, and Michael Jacques; great grandchildren, Nyela, Adam, Hazel, Naomi, Antonio, Arturo, Keira, Noah, and Caprianna.
Services: The family will receive friends and relatives on Sunday, February 12, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Cantelmi Long Funeral Home, 500 Linden Street, Bethlehem, PA.
