My thoughts and prayers are with her family, and my memories of Olga’s familiar smile and laugh will go forward with me. She was easily the friendliest, warmest, most welcoming person I met when I first came to work in Kansas City for PARS, and that is how she will be remembered by me and many others. I hope Olga knows how much I admired her. She was truly a wonderful, effervescent person.
I knew Olga to speak to her and really enjoyed talking with her. She was a very nice woman and I am sure she will be missed. May she rest in peace and be with God.
