Born and raised in New Iberia, she attended University of Louisiana (then named Southwestern Louisiana Institute) in Lafayette in the late 1950s where she met the love of her life, Mike Milano. They married and settled in Baton Rouge. In addition to making a home with Mike, and raising three boys, Olga was an avid and active investor, watching and following the stock market every trading day, and she also invested in real estate, buying and selling many properties over her lifetime. She loved sports of all kinds, especially baseball and football. She and her husband Mike traveled extensively and she enjoyed occasional trips to casinos. She also loved animals, especially her small dogs, Sugar and Spice. One of her greatest pleasures was simply spending quality time with family and friends.
