It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Olga Pena, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend from Chicago, Illinois. Olga departed this world recently, leaving behind not just a family in mourning, but a community enriched by her love, strength, and compassion.
Olga Pena was a woman of quiet resilience and deep warmth. Her door was always open, and her heart even more so. She had an unwavering commitment to her family and an infectious sense of humor that could bring light to the darkest day. Whether through her comforting words, homemade meals, or tireless efforts to care for those around her, Olga lived a life rooted in kindness and generosity.
Her love story with her late husband, Angel Pena, was one for the ages. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and community. Angel passed away some time ago, and now, with Olga’s recent passing, their family finds solace in the idea that the two are finally reunited in peace.
In an effort to honor both their memories, the Pena family is reaching out to the community for support. They are currently raising funds to purchase a combined headstone for Olga and Angel—one that reflects not only their deep bond but also the legacy they leave behind. This lasting tribute will be a place for loved ones to gather, reflect, and celebrate the lives of two people who meant so much to so many.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. The family’s goal is not just to erect a monument, but to honor Olga and Angel with the dignity and love they both so deeply deserve.
During this difficult time, we kindly ask that you keep the Pena family in your thoughts and prayers. Their grief is profound, but so too is their gratitude for the outpouring of support they’ve already received. Olga touched many lives, and now we have an opportunity to give something back—to help ensure her memory, and that of Angel, endures in love and reverence.
Thank you for standing with the Pena family during this season of remembrance and mourning.
