Olga B. Gechas
December 15, 1925 ~ March 17, 2017
Olga B Gechas, 91, of McLean, VA formerly of NY, NY passed on March 17, 2017. Born in Rochester, NY on December 15, 1925 to Charles and Viola Gechas, she joined the Marines during WWII, embarking on her life's adventures. Upon leaving the Corps she furthered her education in Communications at American University in DC. A long and impressive career included the United Nations, UNICEF and the Democratic National Committee, where she was known for her fundraising prowess and marketing skills. She had a voracious appetite for all things political and she would want it known that she remained a faithful, proud and vocal Democrat all her days. Predeceased by those she held most dear, her beloved sister Berte Whipple and cherished friend Josifina de Roman, she leaves behind nephews and niece Ron, Barb and Chris, and treasured friends Bill and Sharon. Funeral Services will be held at St Luke's Catholic Church Chapel, 7001 Georgetown Pike in McLean on Saturday, March 25th, at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers donations to The Carter Center in her memory would be her wish.
