She was the heart and soul of our family. Every gathering was filled with the sound of her laughter and the unmistakable aromas of her cooking surrounded everyone like a warm hug. For decades she has anchored our family, and we are forever grateful to her. We can best honor her legacy by continuing her example; by opening our doors, homes, and hearts to all. She was loved by anyone who knew her and will be missed dearly.
In addition to her parents, she is pre-deceased by her beloved daughter Bonnie C. Olson in 2017, and her cherished grandson Shawn Olson in 2018.
Members of her surviving family include her devoted husband of 59 years Richard Olson; daughter Lori; two sons Keith and Eric; daughter-in-law Denise; her grandchildren Rachel, Amber, Nathan, Racine, and Riley; great-grandchildren Dominic, Baileigh, Braedyn, Alayna, Erica, Freya, and Luna; her sister Patricia Power of Hooksett; several nieces and nephews, and her closest friends Kathy and Nancy.
