Olga Iris Rodriguez, the fourth child of Florencio and Ramona Roman, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday January 29th, 2023, at 8:11 am, at the Hospice Home of High Point, NC. Olga was born in Isabela, Puerto Rico on May 18, 1940, and later moved to Chicago, IL in 1956, where as an adult worked as an office manager at AON Corp. She then moved to High Point NC in 2001.
Anyone who knew Olga would not forget her love for the Lord. As a Christian, she was a faithful servant in her mission to win souls for the Kingdom. She spent much of her adult life visiting prisons and jails to share the Word of God. Her confidence in the word of GOD gave her the joy to share the gospel wherever she was, be it in store parking lots, the train, and buses all while heading to work. In fact, anywhere she stood was her mission field. Some of her favorite things were spending time with her family, listening to music, and going shopping. Growing up, she enjoyed spending time at her grandmother Nana’s and Tia Marcianita’s house. Her most significant accomplishments in life were her family and her ministry. She dedicated her life to preaching the gospel and bringing souls to the Lord. She prayed for anyone, whether it was physical, emotional, or a financial need.
Olga is preceded in death by her father, Florencio Roman; mother, Ramona (Medina) Roman; brother, Felipe Roman, sisters, Luz Celenia (Sally) Toledo, Miriam Zavala, and her grandsons, Jason Daniel Rivera, and Frankie Giovalio Rodriguez Jr. (Gio #33).
