OLGA MONTENORA

A champion of compassion and generosity. Una campeona llena de compasión y generosidad. You will always be in our hearts. An example of dedication to help those in need through Saint Vincent de Paul and Círculo de la Hispanidad. She served our organization as a founding member and our treasurer for about 30 years, missing meetings only when she was ill or out of the country. An example to all of us. She was and is part of our family forever.
