She was a native of Puchov, Slovakia and a resident of Jennings 29 years. Olga earned degrees in Slovak and French linguistics from Komenskeho University (Filozoficka Faculta) in Bratislava Slovakia, dedicated her life to education, and retired as a school teacher. Her love of language and culture made her into an avid reader. Yet, she also maintained a deep connection with the natural world, mostly hiking in the mountains, spending time by the sea, or gardening. Her dear friends that so blessed her life — David, Simone Marcantel and family, will also remember her as talented baker. She so loved and was beloved by her children, grandchildren and held a special place in her heart for her sister-in-law Terka.

Survivors include three children born in Slovakia, one daughter, Katarina Dolejsiova; two sons, Matthew (wife, Ashley) Dolejsi of Baton Rouge, Juraj Dolejsi of Bratislava, Slovakia; and three grandchildren, Marek, Gavin and Rhett Dolejsi.

She is preceded in death by her parents Jozef Zboran (1920-1962) and Maria Holikova Zboranova (1923-1972), her sisters Lidia Zboranova (1943-1962) and Dana Holubova Zboranova (1950-1985), one brother Vladimir Zboran (1952-1998), and her husband, Jozef Dolejsi (1950-2019). All were born in Puchov, Slovakia.

The family would like to thank Marian, who was an angel by her side.
