Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday April 25, 2026, at White-Ranson Funeral Home. Bro. Garrett Quinn will be officiating.

Ms. Olga Leon was born on Feb. 16, 1957, in the town of San Jose de La Paz, Jalisco, Mexico, to Manuel Leon Macias and the late Olivia Leon Aguayo. The oldest of eight siblings, she will always be remembered as a second mother figure to her sisters, who loved going shopping together and joining her many travel adventures. She could barter better than anyone else and always knew a good deal when she saw it.
You knew the second she walked into a room; her big personality and infectious laughter filled it instantly, and you could sit and talk with her all day about anything and everything. Her younger brothers loved to play pranks on her, and one of her family’s fondest memories of her is seeing Olga ride around on her favorite orange golf cart.
Never afraid to meet life’s challenges, she worked hard to continue her father’s legacy and was the owner of Los Portales in Union City. Her work ethic and determination paralleled her love as a mother and she is survived by two daughters, Lillie Camarena of Newark, Calif., and Jennifer Raines and husband, Greg Raines, of Union City; one son, Christopher Camarena of Union City; and grandson, Leon Raines of Union City.
To honor her memory, we invite guests to wear florals. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Charlee Kate’s Closet. (Venmo: @charleekatescloset). Condolences may be sent to the family at the funeral home website http://www.white-ranson.com.
She will be deeply missed by her family and friends and touched the lives of all those who knew her. May we honor her memory by embracing life’s pleasures: to eat, travel, laugh, y andar de pata larga just like she taught us, and by finding comfort in faith, as she always reminded us she was in God’s hands.
