It was an absolute pleasure meeting Olga at the Next Gen senior center. She welcomed me with open arms as the new activities director and I will always remember her wonderful smile. Olga was always so happy and full of life, I will miss seeing her and our wonderful talks. I am sure our gracious Lord welcomed her with open arms. My life has been enriched by knowing Olga, and seeing how gracefully one can age in this life. Now she has been renewed and reunited with family that have gone before her, and oh what a wonderful reunion. Prayers for all the family at this time of loss. Wishing God’s blessings. Terry Ludwig

Our sympathy goes out to Olga’s entire family. She was a very good friend to my mother and she will miss her terribly. My mom always thought of Her whenever I would travel.. She would always say “make sure you bring something back for Olga”. I’m sure they will all miss her at the Solanco Senior Center too where she enjoyed going too. She was a sweet person who always had a smile on her face and was always so pleasant. She will always be a “shining star” to all whose life she touched. Love, Marie Brown and Dottie Boas
