Cathy Lee Olson

Cathy Lee Olson March 7, 1963 – June 24, 2025 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cathy Lee Olson, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Cathy passed away peacefully in her sleep on June 24, 2025, at the age of 62. She was a woman whose kindness, love, and selflessness touched everyone who knew her. Cathy was born on March 7, 1963, in Norwalk, California, and lived the rest of her life in Redlands, California. She spent much of her career as the Assistant Administrator at Mission Commons, where she made lasting connections and served with a heart full of compassion. Cathy was also a devoted member of the First United Methodist Church of Redlands and actively participated in the church's prayer chain, offering her prayers and support to the community. Above all, Cathy's greatest joy in life was being a grandmother to her beloved granddaughter, Aydrianna Uribe. Aydrianna was the light of Cathy's life, and their bond was unbreakable. Cathy loved to spend her summers by the pool, watching Aydrianna play and soaking up the warmth of the California sun. A treasured memory was taking Aydrianna to Disneyland, where Cathy, with her signature grace and humor, made sure every moment was special, even with the challenges she faced. Cathy was known for her boundless generosity and the depth of her love. She would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need, even when she had little to give. Her daughter, LeeAnn Little, and daughter-in-law, Sara Little, were the recipients of her unwavering devotion, and she was always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Her signature phrase, "I love you more, I win," was a reminder of her loving nature and the way she made everyone around her feel cherished. Cathy is survived by her daughter, LeeAnn Little, her daughter-in-law, Sara Little, and her granddaughter, Aydrianna Uribe. She is also survived by her brother, David Olson. Cathy was preceded in death by her mother, Lenora Dockwiller, and her brother, Gregory Olson. A woman of great faith and heart, Cathy was not only a mother to her own but to everyone she met. She will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her, but her legacy of love, warmth, and selflessness will live on in the hearts of those she left behind. Rest in peace, Cathy. You will forever be loved and remembered.
