I worked with Olga in Census for several years. She was truly a special lady. She was my mentor and instilled in me the value of great work ethics. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will always have wonderful memories of her.

Olga was a wonderful Grandmother to me and my brother. My favorite memories of college were when I got a note in my P.O. Box that a package had come for me. They were from Grandma and always had cookies or brownies inside.



I will miss her a lot,

but she is finally at peace.



Thank you all so much for all of the love and prayers.



-Olga's granddaughter, Karen Marie
