MICHELE OLSEN

Michele passed away on January 5, 2011, at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle, Washington, after a 2-year battle with cancer as her family and best friend Mary Cook stood by her side. Michele was a caregiver for many years, providing care for all her clients and their families. While she had no children of her own, she was the best 'Other' mother that any child could have had as she touched the lives of many children over the years.

She was preceded in death by her father Andrew Stubblefield, and paternal and maternal grandparents. Michele is survived by her mother Shirley Stubblefield; siblings, Sheila Stubblefield, Larry and wife Rachael; Rob and Andrea Coates; niece Alyshia Coates; nephew Bryce and wife Maci and their 2 children; aunts, Margaret Arnold and family; Betty Noland and family; Frances Content and family; uncles, Ben L. Arnold, Wesley Arnold and family.

Families of her heart include Russ and wife Maria, their sons Edger, Jesse and Howard; Noe and wife Cindy, and their children Veronica, Gabriella, Natalie, Sebastian and Robert Lopez; Mary (Millsaps) Cook and her family. There are many more than we can mention here but you all know who you are.

A special thank you to her Aunt Betty Noland for taking her to many doctor visits in Seattle during the last 2 years.

A gathering to remember her will be held at the Pasco Senior Center, 1315 N. 7th, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., January 22, 2011. Please stop by and share your memories.

We would like to thank all the wonderful and nurturing staff at Kadlec and Virginia Mason hospitals.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Hospice in her name, or to help with any outstanding medical expenses an account is set up at Gesa Credit Union in her name.
