Bonnie Jean Olson, age 71, resident of rural East Grand Forks, MN, unexpectedly left this world on Sunday, April 11, 2010 from injuries suffered by an automobile accident.
Bonnie Haugen was born on April 12, 1938 the daughter of John and Viola (Tverstol) Haugen and was raised and attended school in Alvarado, MN. Bonnie married Ronald P. Olson on November 27, 1956, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Tabor, MN. They were married for 53 years, and they farmed and raised dairy cattle for a majority of their married lives on a farm near Tabor, MN. After farming, for the last 18 years of her life, she worked full–time for Environmental Services at Altru Rehab, and during every fall, she would work part-time at the Quality Lab at American Crystal Sugar, Co. during the beet season. Bonnie was a hard worker in life. She was a wonderful cook and baker, with specialties of potato dumplings, kolaches, tea rings, donuts, and the grandkids' favorite, puppy chow. She was active in the church, enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, enjoyed occasional trips to the casino, and had the amazing ability to welcome everyone into her family.
Bonnie will be deeply missed by her husband, Ronnie Olson of rural East Grand Forks, MN, 6 children, Dee Olson (special friend, Jim Stallmo) of East Grand Forks, MN, Robert (Shirley) Olson of Alvarado, MN, Shari (Rick) Olson-Nikunen of Thief River Falls, MN, Paula (Ron) Salentine of Grand Forks, ND, Kyle (Kristin) Olson of Sartell, MN, and Ronda (Mike) Biermaier of Thief River Falls, MN; 14 grandchildren, Rachel (Josh) Johnston, Tyler (Annie Erickson) Olson, Matthew Olson, Willie Nikunen, Aubrey and Luke Schulz, Nick, Jake, and Madison Salentine, Grant, Carter, and Brooklyn Olson, Meleah and Blake Biermaier; 5 siblings, Vivian (Ralph) Hanson of Alvarado, MN, Shirley Kollin of Alvarado, MN, G.
