Warren Olson Obituary
Warren was born in Minneapolis, MN on June 10, 1924. He served in the Army from 1943-1945 and is a WWII Veteran. After his service he moved to the Kansas City area where he met his future wife Joan Lamberson. They were married October 21, 1950 & together raised their six children. They moved to Raytown in the early 1950s where he was the Alderman for Raytown as well as a Founding Member of Brooking Township. Warren was active in the DAV, VFW, Boy Scout Troop 283 & Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. He started his career as a milkman with Country Club Dairy, delivering milk door to door and retired after 32 years. He was a member of Teamster 41.
Warren was preceded in death by his parents & a grandson, John Bennett Greenwell II. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Joan; children, Kathryn Greenwell (John), Patricia Roney (Jack), Bridget Olson, Rita Olson-Stawicki, Warren G. Olson & Theresa Van Baale (Kirk) and grandchildren, Sarah Greenwell & Warren R. Olson.
Warren's family would like to thank the staff of the KC Veteran Hospital, Veterans Home of Cameron, MO, VA Home & Health and Sister Ann. Warren was himself & was never to be outspoken in Raytown. Heaven has gained one hell of an angel. In lieu of flowers, family suggests memorial contributions to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. Online condolences to www.mcgilleysheil.com.

Rita and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Although I only met him once, he was full of spirit and went out of his way to make our daughters 3rd Christmas extra special. She is 16, and still remembers that evening. Just a story I wanted to share. Rita, if there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.
With Love,
The Crawford Family

Joan and all the kids, Time really flies by and there's never enough time to do the things or tell people how much you love them. It seems
like yesterday that Mom died and that was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with.
thing I've ever had to deal with. I want you to know that I am thinking of each one of you and sending prayers too. GOD BLESS! Warren was a good man and will be missed. Love you guys, Julie (Anderson) Hicks.
