Together, they shared 21 years filled with love, laughter, and a deep devotion to one another.Olga was a devoted homemaker who found great joy in making her house a home. She loved shopping at Hobby Lobby, always searching for the next beautiful decoration to add to her collection. There was always room for “just one more,” and Jose happily indulged her, knowing how much it brought her joy. Olga also enjoyed trying her hand at crafts inspired by her Hobby Lobby finds, and her home stands as a testament to many lovingly started projects—though they were not always finished.To be around Olga was to be in good company.
