Olga, “Heidi” was born on October 26, 1966 to her parents, Maria and Salvador Robledo. Heidi lived 59 beautiful years and was surrounded with love by those she cherished most in her final moments.

Heidi’s passion for life and the special love she gave will be carried on forever by her husband, Larry, son, Brandon, and daughter, Chelsea and fur baby, Sophie.

Heidi’s heartfelt devotion to the arts left a lasting imprint on the students and children she worked with at the Boyle Heights Neighborhood Music School and A Place Called Home in South Central Los Angeles. Heidi and her husband, Larry are the original founders of the Klassics for Kids Car Show at Calas Park in Carson, California which benefits children’s sports and art programs.

Heidi, your special warmth, devotion, and love as a wife, mother, daughter and friend will forever be missed and cherished by everyone you touched. Your light continues to shine bright even after your spirit has gone.
