Olga Orihuela passed away peacefully on May 7, 2025, in Houston Texas. She spent her last days withfamily surrounded by love. The biggest joy of her life was to be a grandmother to Melissa Ann Canales, Anissa DelaCruz, Nathan Delacruz, Selena Canales, and her great granddaughter Aryel Lynn Garcia.

She was born in Rio Hondo Texas to Benito A. Nunez and Manuela Nunez on August 7, 1947. Olga
moved to Houston with her parents as a child and lived her adult life in Houston. She had three children Richard Martin Canales, Michelle Renee Canales, and Teresa Denise Canales. She was especially fond of the time she spent with her great granddaughter Aryel. She traveled quarterly to bond with her greatgranddaughter until she was unable to travel.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her eldest child Richard Martin Canales, aunts and uncles, and her beloved cousins, Miroslava Flach & Willie Escamilla.
She is survived by her brother Daniel J Nunez (Rose Nunez), her daughter Michelle Renee DelaCruz, Teresa Denise Canales (Norma Vela) and her grandchildren, an uncle, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Olga was a sous chef for the Houston City Club for many years, a licensed beautician, and in her later years a nanny. She nannied countless children. She was especially proud of the Coronado boys caring for them during their formative elementary school years.We are especially grateful to Leivy Garcia Perez, Teresa Sinales Hernandez, Ms. Ofelia, and Matilde Torrubia for taking great care of her. They were excellent caregivers providing twenty-four-hour care. We will miss Olga’s unwavering commitment to those she loved.
