Corrao SharonOlga was a sweet and beautiful woman and I wish I could celebrate her life with you today but I am not able. She will be forever remembered and loved. My sincere sympathy and condolences.
Olga was one of a kind! Such a sweet soul. We were neighbors during the old “Woodlawn Grocery Store” days and stayed in touch since then. She knew everyone in the community. And one meeting her, she remembered and counted you as a friend. She will be sorely missed, but now reaps her faithful reward.
