Olga Bindi

Olga Bindi, 88, of Vicksburg, formerly of Portage, Michigan, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Birch Meadows in Three Rivers.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, on April 26, 1938, Olga was the daughter of the late Jerome and Olga (Yaeger) Cavana. On August 10, 1957, she married the love of her life, Frank Bindi, in New York City. Together, they shared 69 years of marriage, raising five sons and building a life centered around family.

Olga worked for several years at Biggs Gilmore in Kalamazoo and also served as a manager in the family's National Car Rental business.

Bold, spirited, and never shy about sharing her opinion, Olga was truly one of a kind. She had a colorful personality, a quick wit, and a natural ability to strike up a conversation with just about anyone. And she did. She knew what she liked, wasn't afraid to say what she thought, and had a way of making herself memorable wherever she went.

Olga had a flair for life and a style all her own. She loved getting dressed up and brought personality and a touch of glamour to every occasion. She was a wonderful cook, a talent certainly appreciated by her five boys. Creative by nature, she loved art and gardening and was also a competitive tennis player. On the court, she could be downright ruthless.

Above all, Olga loved her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who took great pride in the family she and Frank built together. Her strong spirit, individuality, and love for those closest to her will remain an enduring part of her legacy.

Olga is survived by her beloved husband, Frank; her five sons and three daughters-in-law: Michael and Floriana, Jerome and Gail, Frank Jr., Richard, and Adrien and Ebony; her three grandchildren, Kyle, Cameron, and Lola; and several cousins.

In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place. The family is planning a memorial gathering in the spring.

Olga lived life on her own terms, with style, conviction, and a spirit that was entirely her own. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
