Dolores Elizabeth Thinnes Olsen

Friday, Dec. 23, 2016

Dolores Elizabeth Thinnes Olsen, our sweet mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, has found peace.  

She was the loving daughter of Zeno Iranius Thinnes and Edith Laverne Davidson.  She was a sister to Cecelia (Bud) Wardle (deceased) and Maurice (Margaret) Thinnes.

She married William Gail Olsen Sept. 17, 1947; together they raised a family. He left her too soon and he has been waiting 41 years for her to join him. Her children are Renee (Darrell) Dixon, Rolayne (Jeffrey) Van Buskirk, Marcia (Ken) Evans, Greg Olsen, Leslie (Craig) Bingham, Charles Olsen, Julie (Michael) Schoonmaker, Douglas Olsen (deceased) and John (Evelyn) Olsen.  

She was preceded in death by longtime companion Eppie Roybal.

She had a strong faith in the Catholic Church and later found great joy in becoming a Secular Carmelite.

She loved her 25 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends, her farm, garden and pets. She will be remembered for her wonderful cooking and sweet kisses.

Funeral services were held Dec. 19 at St. James the Just Catholic Church, Ogden.

Please offer prayers or donations in her name to the charity of your choice.
