Marie Adele Olson of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at the age of 68 years.

Marie was the fifth child of Luther and Florence Olson. She was born and raised in Camrose and became an incredible teacher - her lifelong passion. She made a difference in countless student’s lives with her ‘mistake making place’ motto in the classroom. 

Besides loving devotion for her own family, Marie was known for her involvement in church, school and community. She was known for her big heart, big personality and humour. She loved her children unconditionally and adored her grandchildren.

Marie was predeceased by her parents Luther and Florence Olson; sister Dianne; brother Stan; brother-in-law Daryl; and nephews Steven Phillips and Craig Donovan.
 

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m., Monday, October 1, 2018, from the Messiah Lutheran Church with Pastor Rita Roste officiating. Interment has taken place in the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery.
