Olga Capozzalo, ne Campbell, was born on November 8, 1923, in Santa Cruz, Trinidad. She was the first child of Cecil Douglas Campbell and Rafita Bolivar-Lara, descendant of the family of Simon Jos Antonio de la Santisima Trinidad Bolivar y Palacios, "El Libertador" of the Venezuelan republic 1783-1830. Cecil Douglas was the youngest child of sixteen in a prominent Scottish planter and horse breeding family. He and Rafita were wed in Santa Cruz, Trinidad. Rafita's parents died very early in life and she and Cecil took on the responsibility of raising her three siblings. Horse racing is a risky business. When his fortune turned, Cecil sold the family land and moved his brood-by now Olga had been joined by five more brothers and sisters-to Maraval in the northern suburbs of Trinidad's capital, Port of Spain. Cecil launched a new career with George F. Huggins & Co., a major import/export concern headquartered in Port of Spain. Early on, Cecil recognized Olga's leadership and ambition, and affectionately dubbed his daughter "The Old Queen." As the home's reining monarch, Olga ruled with selflessness beyond her years. Around the Campbell house, her word was law. Olga graduated first in her high level examinations and immediately procured a position at the Royal Bank of Canada. She was the first Trinidadian teller at the bank. When World War II broke out, Olga enlisted in the British Army's Auxiliary Territorial Service. She and her sister, Zita, who had also joined the ATS, were stationed in Washington, D.C. Unsurprisingly, "The Old Queen" rose quickly to the rank of sergeant by the end of the War. Shortly after VE Day, Olga returned home to Trinidad. But not for long. She set her sights on traveling the world. By chance, she met a U.S. Naval officer in Port of Spain. It was a three-month romance that led to a 54-year love affair. Dan brought Olga to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where his large, friendly family took in Olga as one of their own. Nana and Pop, as Olga was fond of calling Dan's parents, watched approvingly as she gently molded their son into a commanding officer. Dan retired as a Captain, USN in 1975. Olga and Dan raised a family of four children, travelled the world and loved and cherished each other until death took Dan on January 8, 2000. They say that the children of lovers are orphans. But Olga's two daughters and two sons were never abandoned. Olga's love was full enough to encompass both her husband and her children. She gave everything she had to them. It was her way. As a career Navy wife, Olga took on leadership roles, serving as Officers' Wives Club president at countless duty stations around the world. Fearless in the face of change, Olga gently pushed her children to make new friends wherever the family was posted. She came to her children's sports games and school productions. She supplied tutors, organized transportation, packed picnics and scouted out the best playgrounds. In midlife, Olga returned to banking and volunteer work with the Red Cross where she was elected President of the Florida chapter. Well into her eighties, Olga continued to be a vital part of her children's and grandchildren's lives and to contribute to her community. When the time came to sell her home in Florida, she chose to live in Los Angeles, California, delighted to live so close to her daughter, Karen. More recently, she courageously relocated to New York to be closer to her extended family. Olga is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, her four children, her 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
