Oglazia was educated in the Dorchester County School System. While stationed in Hawaii, she operated a Daycare Center. She worked in numerous Healthcare Facilities, and restaurants doing what she loved to do…Cook! Oglazia was passionate about cooking & loved spending time in the kitchen, creating her infamous Applesauce cake, Peanut Brittle, Butternut Squash Pie, and other delicious meals she created to bring family and friends together. She was the life of any party; always laughing, joking, and cutting the rug until the music went off! Oglazia’s story wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t talk about her “Thriftiness”! Oh, how she loved a sale. She had a way of saving and finding bargains like no other and was sure to let everyone know about her finds.
