Margie Marie Olson Obituary (1924 - 2004)

MARGIE MARIE HASKELL OLSON ROY -- Margie Marie Haskell Olson, 80, passed away on a crisp fall morning, September 23, 2004 after a long battle with Parkinsons. Margie was born February 7, 1924, to George and Mary Haskell in Ririe, Idaho. She was the second of six children. She graduated from Ogden High and worked at the Defense Depot Ogden. She married Darwin LaVar Olson November 22, 1945 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple shortly after he returned home from World War II. They enjoyed 59 years together. As a faithful wife, mother and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Margie served in each of her callings with energy and devotion. Darwin and Margie served in the South Africa Johannesburg Mission. She was a loving mother of eight children. Margie's children felt she was the perfect mom. Her generous smile will sorely be missed by family and friends alike. Her family was Margie's pride and joy, but on occasion she found time to embroider, cross-stitch, read, and follow the Jazz and BYU sports with her husband. She is survived by her husband, Darwin, and children, Rocky (Shaunna), Darla (Robert) Wardle, Kevin (LaRee), Randy (Melody), Teresa (James Knight, Cindy Olson, Tamera (Allan) Wursten, Chad (Carrie); 38 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings. Special thanks to Vista Care Hospice.
