WORCESTER – Ollga (Theodhoraqi) Dymi, 64, of Worcester, passed peacefully on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at Rose Monahan Hospice, Judith Road, Worcester. She was a woman who found joy in the simple things — a blooming garden, a family meal, a good song sung together and who loved the people in her life with everything she had.

Home was her calling. Ollga was a homemaker in the truest sense of the word — not just keeping a house, but building a place where her husband Xhemal and her son Julian always felt completely loved. She cooked, she cared, she showed up.

Her door was always open and her table always had room.

She loved to travel. Niagara Falls took her breath away, and New Orleans captured her heart. She talked about Bora Bora like it was waiting for her — a dream she held onto with a smile. She never made it there, but that's the thing about Ollga she always had something to look forward to, always believed there was more beauty left to see.

Her garden was her quiet place.  In her younger years she played basketball, and was very competitive. That fire in her never really went away. It just showed up differently as she got older, in the way she faced life's hard moment.

And then there was her voice. Ollga could sing — beautifully, naturally. At family gatherings, she and her brother Ilia and her sister Valentina would fill the house with music, Ilia on guitar and Ollga singing with everything she had. Those moments were magic. The kind you don't forget.

She was also, to the very end, a Taylor Swift fan — and it suited her perfectly. Because Taylor's music is about love and loyalty and holding the people you care about close. That was Ollga's whole life.

Over her last five months, Ollga fought cancer. She faced it with a grace. She didn't make it easy on herself to make it easy on others — she genuinely faced it with courage, softness, and an unbroken spirit.

Ollga is survived by her husband, Xhemal Dymi; her son, Julian Dymi; her brother, Ilia Theodhoraqi and his wife, Magdalena Theodhoraqi; and her cherished nieces, Eva Varfi, Orieta Kristo, Jonida Duque, and Glorianna Cyrek. She was predeceased by her older sister, Valentina Varfi, and her parents, Vasil and Margarita Theodhoraqi. Born in Albania, the daughter of Vasil and Margarita (Papakristo) Theodhoraqi, she made Worcester her home since 1995 and left it a warmer place.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Rice Funeral Home, 300 Park Ave., Worcester. Burial will follow at Hope Cemetery. Calling hours are from 9:00 to 10:15 am.
