Olga's greatest loves were her daughters and grandchildren. She loved flowers and always had beautiful gardens. Her rose garden was one her greatest loves. She loved all the animals she had over the years which included Butchie, Buster, and Misty. In her mid-seventies, Olga began riding horses again. Her daughter Donna rescued a wild mustang from Tonopah, Nevada. His name was Gambler and he and Olga became the best of friends. Olga (with Donna's help) took Gambler to horse shows, and she won many ribbons and trophies with him. She loved him to the end. She was a Girl Scout den mother and a lifelong member of the Eastern Star.
