Olga Gomez

Olga Gomez, of Elizabeth NJ, was born in 1925 during a challenging period in Santiago de Cuba. She began working at a young age to assist her mother in supporting the household and her four younger siblings. A modest woman, she was deeply religious and possessed a gentle spirit. Olga married the love of her life, Manuel Gomez Sr., and became a widow 28 years ago. The couple had two sons, Manuel and Daniel. In 1968, they left Cuba and spent two years in Honduras, where her family provided support to help her progress. She had a great appreciation for classical music and enjoyed dancing to Cuban rhythms.

In 1970, she relocated to the United States with her husband and children. A dedicated mother and homemaker, she also engaged in political activities, assisting candidates in their elections.

Olga is survived by her sons, Manuel and Daniel, as well as her daughters-in-law, Mayra and Betsy. Additionally, she is survived by her grandchildren, Manuel Jr., Daniel Jr., and Megan. She also had four siblings: Mirtha, Mary, Silvia, and Tony. Her nieces and nephews, Mirtica, Silvita, Tere, Salvadorsito, Pablito, and Candido, were always very affectionate towards their aunt.
