Obituary of Olga Cavazos Pena

Olga Cavazos Pena, 76, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend, returned to her Heavenly Father and beautiful gardens in heaven on October 23rd 2023. She passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

Olga was born on December 8th 1946 in American Falls Idaho to Frank and Elena Pena. She was the 2nd to be born of their 9 children.

Olga grew up in Aberdeen and graduated from Aberdeen High School. She married Raul Ramos and became a mother when she was blessed with her son, Xavier (Havey) Ramos. They later divorced and she was blessed with her one and only daughter Mary Pena. Olga and Victor Lozano married and sadly lost a baby boy Victor Lozano Jr. and twins Miguel Angel Lozano and Juan Carlos Lozano. They were finally blessed with their son Ricardo Victor Lozano. Her children were her treasures.

When she met life challenges, Olga always done what she needed to do to take care of her children. They always came first, and she taught them, at an early age, how to work hard, by spending many hours hoeing in the beet fields.

Olga will be remembered for her big loving heart. She always gave to others even when she had very little to share. She had a love and true talent for gardening. She grew the biggest pumpkins, the tastiest vegetables, and the most beautiful flowers. Her plants were her babies too and she loved to share her harvest and flowers with everyone. Olga was everyone’s biggest fan and always had encouraging and uplifting words to share. She never ended a sentence without saying “I love you mija/mijo.
