Donna Marie Olson

Donna Marie (Larson) Olson was born on 06/28/1932 to Mr & Mrs AL Larson (fondly known as Fritz & Toots) in rural Minnesota. She was one of four living children including Stan Larson (Marlene), Gordon Larson (Marlene), and Barbara Swenson (James).

In 1953, she married Ordell Olson and relocated to Denver, CO where they made their new home and, over time, welcomed three daughters, Laurel, Rebecca, and Nancy. Laurel and her husband Steve have two children, Ryan Pankoski (Shandra) and Stephanie Lewis (Cameron). Rebecca and her husband, Russ, also have two children, Amy Gallagher (Dan) and Amber Shurts (Bryan Velez). Nancy and her husband Mike have 4 children between them, Rachel Nnoli (Kenny), Danny Braley (Caitlin), Kristina Smith (Joe), and Brandon Wrigley (Sierra). There are 13 great grandchildren and one expected in August.

Donna was welcomed into the Lord's arms on 04/01/2019 with her daughters by her side.

Donna lived an active and busy life, was a true-blue-and-orange Broncos fan, had a passion for life and always made time for others. She always thanked the Lord daily for her blessings and was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend - truly a gift to us all.

The family extends it's deepest appreciation to the staff at Morningstar Senior Living in Littleton, CO and Suncrest Hospice for their excellent care for Donna over the last 10 years.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Donna's memory for the Alzheimer's Association. Her memorial page can be found at: http://act.alz.org/goto/Donna_Olson
