    Olga was a "Classic" in every sense of the word. One of my favorite memories is when she would demo the holiday line at conference and how we cheered, now we smile. In the "Softlite" of a candle, we remember Olga.

    Olga was a very "special " lady. During my years in Partylite she had made an impression on everyone she met. I will never forget the impact she made on my life. She was always so inspiring to me that no matter what the world throws you good or bad, You can make a difference by believing all happens for a reason. Being one handed and not giving up is what she showed me with Partylite. May the Lord comfort u all in this time of Loss. There will always be a star shining when it comes to u Olga. Rest in Peace

    My deepest sympathy to the entire Puzas family.....and to the Partylite crew as well. I met Olga when I started selling Partylite with my Mom when I was 14 years old. (that's been 32 years ago). She was such a joy and a ton of fun to be around. She made all the meetings such a learning experience...not just pertaining to Partylite, but in life itself. She was so admired, so charming, always a classy lady, but knew how to let her hair down and have fun too! She will be missed by so many. Prayers to all of you. God Bless you Olga.

    I did not know Olga personally, but throughout my many years in PartyLite, seeing her and listening to her "unveil" the holiday line every year was a highlight of conference...because of her! Her enthusiasm and passion was infectious! Thinking of her family and many friends...

    Olga was mre than a PartyLite leader to me. During our years together, she became one of my dearest, best friends. I will miss her more than I can express. I really believe there wasn't a soul that she touched that wasn't inspired by her. She was a truely amazing woman. May she rest in peace. I will keep her family in my prayers. Dwell on the memories.

    Bernie and Family,, Olga was always such a bubbly, energetic woman and she made a great impression on me. I worked with Olga long before all the gals at PartyLite did. We worked together when we were in Rubbermaid and you know that was a long time ago. I think it speaks volumes that after all these years and only bumping into her once after Rubbermaid folded, I still remember her and her engaging spirit. I'm so sorry for your loss.

    My deepest condolences to Mark, Jeff and the entire family. Olga was a beautiful, kind and always classy woman and I am so much the better for the mark she left on my life. Rege and I are praying that God wrap you in His arms of comfort and love and bring you peace that only He can.

    I was an adoptee of Olga's PartyLite region. She treated me as one of her own consultants, in face, I think it was a couple of years before she even realized I was not one of her consultants! I missed her when she retired and will miss knowing she's not here to contact. It was because of her leadership that my business thrived for so many years. Rest in Peace dear Olga. I will keep all of your family in my prayers.
