Judith Ann Olson Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Judith Ann Olson (Vancouver, Washington), who passed away on May 8, 2019, at the age of 77. A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, May 15th 2019 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the Evergreen Memorial Gardens Cemetery and Funeral home (1101 NE 112th Ave, Vancouver, WA). The eldest daughter of George and Evelyn Mathis, Judith is survived by her sister Dee Conger, her beloved husband William (Bill) Olson, her daughter's Kimberly Olson and Lynda Anderson, and her grandchildren Katie Grover, and Bryce and Nate Anderson.

Judy bravely fought cancer for over 17 years and did so right up to her last breath which was shared by her devoted husband Bill and daughter Lynda at her bedside. Judy tackled life with determination and grace. She enjoyed gardening, sewing and crafts and travel.

In the years following her original diagnosis she found new interests and acquired a passion for playing Mahjong, a computer game on her iPad and watching soap operas. Judy had many pets over the years and adored each of them. Judy was a doting grandmother to her only biological granddaughter Katie whom she helped deliver and watch over for the first few years of her life.

Judy was a devoted wife to Bill and they would have celebrated 59 years of marriage this upcoming June 17th. Here on earth we will miss her beautiful smile and the mischievous twinkle in her eye but will find comfort knowing that we will all be together again. May you rest in peace now our most treasured Wife, Mother and Grandmother.
