December 28, 1929 – December 3, 2024
Our beautiful mother, Olga Ayello, passed away on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. Beloved mother to Gloria Wilkins and husband, Bobby; Jesse Ayello and wife Karen; mother-in-law to Peggy Ayello grandmother to Dan, David, Laura, Jimmy, Katie, Brian; great grandmother to Olivia, Molly, Theo, Lila, and Leo; sister-in-law to Mary Escoto.
Olga was preceded in death by her son, Alfonso Ayello, parents, Jesse Escoto and Caroline Alvarez, her siblings Lenore Barajas and husband Joseph; Caroline Urbano and husband George; Peter Escoto and wife, Mary; Armandina Garcia and husband Frank; Julius Alvarez and wife Carol; Helen Ayello and husband Alfonso.
Olga dedicated her entire life to her three children Gloria, Al, and Jesse who she raised alone with the help of her brother, Julius, and mother, Caroline.
Family was especially important to her. She loved being an aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed being a caretaker to family and friends in need and worked as a housekeeper at a hospital where she was constantly reprimanded for spending too much time consoling and providing advice to the patients.
Olga loved playing the slots machine, Bingo, poker, doing jigsaw puzzles and her real passion was cooking Mexican food for family and friends. She could form homemade tortillas with the small of her delicate hands, each tortillabeing the same weight without ever measuring them.
Olga lived a full life and was looking forward to going to be with God and His angels, especially her son Alfonso which she always referred to as “My Al.”
Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a church service on Friday, December 6 at 2:00 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 3552 Morning Glory Ave, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Seale Funeral Home in Denham Springs, LA. A “Celebration of Life” Luncheon will be taking place later and time.

Our beloved Aunt Olga was a kind and loving soul who brought warmth and joy to the family. Her boundless humor and vibrant spirit left a profound and lasting mark on all our lives. She had a unique way of making each of us feel special and loved, and her memory will be cherished forever. Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, her beautiful spirit will continue to live on in the love and kindness she shared.
Rest in peace, dearest Aunt Olga.
With all our love,
John, Erin, Angelina, Anthony, and Adriana

Thank you for your kind words. I feel her presence everywhere I go. She loved sitting on the back porch where we would talk and have coffee. She loved the dragon flies – one came very close to us, and she got so excited, like a small child. Anyways, I was sitting on the back porch the day after the funeral, talking with mom and asking her to give me a sign that she is happy and with Al now. My wind chimes rang out ever so lightly – I knew it was my mama responding back to me. I will miss her terribly and can’t wait until I see her again when it’s my time to be with God and His angels – one of them my mama. Love you all.
