Stanley was born on July 2, 1952 to Murlin and Phoebe Olson in Hutchinson, Minnesota. He schooled in Buffalo Lake and Stewart, Minnesota and then went on to college, but took a break to enlist in the service during the Vietnam era. On his return, he finished college and became an accountant. His careers were in Minnesota, Washington State (and yes, during St. Helen's eruption) and then down to Missouri. He retired from Scholastic a number of years ago and was enjoying retirement life.
Stan loved to travel with friends and family and made lots of wonderful memories for all. Numerous trips to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and many trips to Hermann, Missouri for Octoberfest. He also enjoyed stamp and coin collecting, barbecuing, baking, and got into coloring. He experienced numerous bumps in the road of life, but he had a happy life surrounded by those who loved him, looked out for him, laughed with him and taught him a thing or two. The past five years were a struggle with a broken arm, three brain tumor surgeries, radiation, and other serious health issues. At the end of the day, he had no regrets.
He is survived by one brother, Norman Olson of New Ulm; two sisters, Mary Lade of New Ulm
and Luanne and husband Al Wussow of Rochester; as well as nephews, friends and furry companions. They will miss him more than he will miss us!
