January 1, 1947 — May 28, 2021

Carol A Olson age 74, died Friday May 28th at home surrounded by family.

Carol was born and raised in Eau Claire. Carol was the youngest of six children, born to Albert and Theresa Grill. After high school she married Richard Olson, March 4th, 1967 spanning 54 years. After traveling to Massachusetts and Nebraska where Richard was stationed in the Air Force they settled back to Eau Claire Wi. They were blessed with two sons, Scott and Dan.

Carol worked at K-Mart for twenty five years. After retiring from K-Mart she moved to the lake and continued her love of gardening working at the Stone Lake Nursery. Carol then returned to Eau Claire to be closer to family.

Carol was a giver of joy, happiness, and love. She dedicated her life to serving others before herself. Carol loved being outside in her garden. She spent hours pulling weeds and took the time to pet the bumblebees.

The time spent with her sisters would be considered some of her most valuable moments. They took trips, put together puzzles, held plant sales, and many more adventures.

Carol spent time looking through her genealogy discovering many interesting facts about her family tree. Carol was the memory keeper for her entire family.

Carol adored and lived for her granddaughters. She read them books, played their silly games, tied their shoes, dried their tears, sang them songs, and loved each and every moment. She may also have been known as Mrs. Waddleduck
Carol became friends with several people throughout her life, whether they were coworkers, old classmates, fellow volunteers, or the beloved 14th street neighbors.

Surviving Carol are her husband Richard, children Scott and Daniel (Stephanie). Her grandchildren Hannah and Finley. Sisters Yvonne and Patricia (Victor). Brother in laws Donald (RoseAnne), and Mike. Also many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Preceded in death by Gene, Sandy (Mundt), Gregg (Denise).
