She married Felix Cheyunski in 1940 and worked in the family business, the Milky Way Dairy. In 1958 they moved to St. Petersburg. She was a long time member of St. Jude's Parish, volunteering at the school, the Science Center, and other family oriented organizations. During 1961, Olga went to work for Sewing Circle Fabrics, became a manager, and subsequently bought the business in 1977. From those times until 2001, she "taught St. Petersburg to sew" and contributed to many community causes passing on a legacy of fabric arts to future generations.
