Obituary for Virginia L. Olson
Virginia Leona Olson went to meet her Heavenly Father Sunday, November 16, 2014 surrounded by her family at Comforts of Home, Frederic, WI.
Virginia was born October 31, 1912 the youngest of 14 children to Hilma and Sever Hanson in Grantsburg, WI. She graduated from Grantsburg High School and remained on the family farm helping and caring for her parents. She married Irving Olson in 1938 and moved to his home in Laketown Township and helped with farming. After 55 years of marriage, he passed away in 1994. To this union six children were born: Kenneth, Wayne (Debbie), David, Renee St. Louis (Andrew Edgell), Linea (Glenn) Mortenson and Brian (Karen).
She was a member of the Atlas United Methodist Church and the UMW. She loved her beautiful flower gardens and spent time fishing, lots of cookie making, cooking and doing needlework. She was a follower of sports, but especially loved the grandchildren's basketball. She and Irving traveled to Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, many other states, and wintered in Florida for several years.
She is survived by her children, 19 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband Irving, her parents, her siblings, and one grandson.
Memorial Service will be held at the Atlas United Methodist Church (2110 295th Ave./County Road B, Luck, WI 54006) on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. with visitation beginning at 10:00 a.m.
The family would like to express their gratitude to all the caregivers and nurses for the wonderful care our mother received at Comforts of Home.
