Olga was born in Trinidad, CO and had nine brothers and sisters. In 1937, she married the late Debs McCasland and they subsequently moved to Grady, NM where they successfully raised their three children, wheat and cattle. During their time in Grady, they were vital members of the community, school, Methodist church and many clubs and organizations. Olga often joked that while raising her three children, Nancy Stanfield Ferguson of Arlington, TX, David McCasland of Tucumcarri, NM and Danny McCasland of Phoenix, AZ, she was asked to serve as a school mom every year for over eighteen years and during that time made thousands of tuna fish sandwiches. Everyone always wanted Olga to be a part of their group because she was like no other. After the children moved away she learned to paint and became a respected artist. Eventually, she and Debs moved to Clovis where they were active in the Democratic Party and enjoyed playing bridge, golf and their membership at the Colonial Country Club until his death. She later found love a second time and married Don Dickie of Aguilar, CO. They moved to Albuquerque and after his passing she moved to Phoenix, AZ.

If you walked in her door the first thing she asked was, Honey, can I fix you something and those who took her up on the offer were always glad they did.
