Olga Celia Menendez

Olga lived a full life! She was always busy with friends, family, sewing and/or knitting projects, and for the majority of her life, world travel. She was a foodie who exclaimed “I could make this myself!” for most dishes, and thoroughly enjoyed the rare meals that she did not believe she could replicate. Olga was the matriarch of a very active family, and this brought her the greatest joy, challenge, and pride.

She is survived by her son, Raul, 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren (Christian, Brandon, Karina, Tabitha, Travis, Lauren, Evangeline, Alexander and Lucy). While grounded to her Earthly family, she also held firmly to her family who preceded her in Heaven, especially her husband, Ruben, daughters, Patricia and Alejandra, and her best friend/sister Maria Elena. We will miss Yeia very much but understand that the time had come for her to join them.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Pretty In Pink Foundation in her honor. Donations can be made online at https://prettyinpinkfoundation.networkforgood.com/projects/57654-every-day-donate-now or by mail to Pretty In Pink Foundation, 5171 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 360, Raleigh, NC 27612.
