Yetive OLSON Obituary
heaven, March 12, 2010, at home, with her family by her side. She was born in Tampa, September 28, 1913, to Lottie Lee Tinny Brooks and Arthur Eugene Brooks. She is survived by her only child, Dwight W. Olson, Sr.; and two grandchildren, Wayne Olson (Heather) and Cheryl Flohr (Rob). She leaves behind five great- grand-children, that she adored and cherished, Nathan and Mark Olson and Andrew, Alex and Abbie Grace Flohr. Mrs. Olson was a proud member of four Florida pioneering families. She was a member of the DeSoto Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and a founding member of the University of Tampa Minaret Society. She was a proud graduate of Hillsborough High School and enjoyed researching her genealogy and heritage. The family would like to thank her dear friend, Lynda; caregivers, Janet and Geri; and the Hospice Jade team, for their love and support these last few months. A brief graveside service will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, March 15, 2010, at Myrtle Hill Memorial Park. To honor Mrs. Olson' s love for spring, the family requests that guests wear spring colors to the service. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in her name to Camp del Corazon at 11615 Hesby St., North Hollywood, CA 91601-3620 or online at www.campdelcorazon.com.

Mrs. Olson lived across the street from my grandmother, Eloisa Puchferran, on Munro Street. She was a patient, kind woman who would invite my cousin and I over for tea. We were very young girls and she would make little sandwiches, cut off the crusts, cut them into fours and we learned the finesse and fun of having tea complete with tablecloth and in her garden or kitchen. This happened many times and I have never forgotten her kindness. I saw her shopping with a niece just a few years back and was still awed by her grace and beauty. It was uncanny that I even recognized her and was so thrilled to have been able to speak with her again after all these years.
She will always be remembered with great fondness. What it must have been like to have been family and friends for so many years - they were blessed!
