Dale Olson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by The Healy Chapel Funeral & Cremation Services - Aurora Facility on Jan. 28, 2026.
Dale Gordon Olson, 90, passed away January 25, 2026. He was born April 13, 1935 son of the late Truman and Mabel Olson.
Mr. Olson, was an Industrial Arts Teacher in the East Aurora District 131 and retired in 1992. Dale was a member of Blessed Sacrament Church as well as Turners, Phoenix and Retired Teachers organizations.
Dale is survived by his children, Nancy (Stacy), Mark (Haley) and Maggie; grandchildren, Emily (Geoff), Benjamin, Kathryn and Lauren; friend, Judy; sister, Ruth Ann; sister-in-law, Joanne as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Alyce (Conahan) Olson; brother, Doyle; brother-in-law, Maynard.
Until recently, Dale always had a project going. Whether working in his yard, building or repairing something, or going to estate sales to look for treasures to round out his collections. He and Judy were avid bridge players and they attended Paramount shows, visited casinos, and rooted for the Bears and Cubs.
Dale enjoyed hosting gatherings of any size at his home. Holidays and especially Christmas with his family were most memorable.
Time at the cabin in Northern Wisconsin, being at the lake, visiting with friends and family as well as a multitude of projects kept Dale busy all year long. He will be missed by many.

Sincere condolences to Judy and all of Dale´s family. Dale was in Howie´s and my wedding 65 years ago. Both were good friends after meeting at Northern and teaching in Aurora, and rooming together with John Hess. Now all three are together in Heaven.

My sincere condolences to the whole family on Dales passing. He was first my Woodshop teacher at Simmons,East High and then enjoyed working with him at EHAS. We used to get a good laugh together when I would say to him " You really are a pretty nice guy, you had us all fooled,haaa" You were a good man Dale
