Carolyn Anne Olson, 63, of Warsaw, MN passed away March 20, 2025. Carolyn was born to Carol and Thomas on April 15, 1961.

After moving out of her parents' home, she met her husband, Mark. This began a 45-year love story which included raising their three daughters: Ashley, Erin, and Rachel. Carolyn's dream was to become a mom; she loved her family above all else.

Carolyn was an expert in the kitchen, spending her time both cooking nightly dinners and baking treats to share with family. She always put others above herself and for many, was the first person we sought out for advice. Carolyn enjoyed fishing trips, crafting, constantly winning during game nights, and the views nature had to offer. Even while enduring the continuous unfair circumstances the universe threw at her, she remained hopeful of the future trips to the lake with Mark, days spent on the porch, and meeting her two grandsons. Anyone who knew Carolyn, knew she had a big heart, a smart mouth, strong mind, and a witty comeback.

Carolyn's passing put a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by her. We ask that you remember her not for the way her life ended, but for the way it was lived.

Proceeded in death by her father (Thomas), mother (Carol), and brothers-in-law (Brutus and Gene).

Survived by her husband (Mark), daughters (Ashley, Erin, and Rachel), and many siblings, nieces, and nephews.
