Marie A. Olson, age 101 of Merrillan, passed on Thursday, October 17, 2019 at the Pigeon Falls Healthcare Center.

Marie was an avid gardener raising gladiolas, strawberries and cucumbers. Her grandchildren remember her for her Easter-Lamb cake and making hand knitted mittens. She made each of the grandchildren a beautiful quilt to be given to them upon her passing.

Marie exhibited at the Jackson County Fair and was honored for her many years of participation. She also enjoyed attending the Black River Falls Alumni Banquet and this year was her 83rd year. Marie enjoyed quilting, crocheting, and knitting making many hats and mittens to be given to area children at the CCU Christmas Tree.
