Margaret Clark Olson, 83, died peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at the Hemingford Community Care Care Center. She was born on February 2, 1941.
She has departed this world’s trials and will awaken in Glory as her steadfast faith assured she would.
She gladly leaves behind distant decades of cruelty and abuse as undeserved payment for her fidelity, hard work, and commitment. She also escapes years of abandonment and vindictiveness she endured as compensation for her nurturing, encouragement, and loving instruction.
Happily, for the last twenty-five years, she has been rewarded for her steadfastness with a devoted marriage, her adoring husband, Bob, and the caring stepchildren, Scott and Lori, she so richly deserved. The entire Olson clan also welcomed her with open arms as one of their own.
Margaret was preceded in death by her loving parents, Arthur and Adeline Clark, her step-granddaughter, Allison Reece, and her life-long best friend, Janice Olson West.
Margaret’s husband, Bob, wishes to express his gratitude to home caregivers Carol and Rose for their skillful assistance and also to the professional staff of the Hemingford Community Care Center, who provided Margaret with a welcoming home away from home.
No funeral services are planned. Cremation will follow, and Margaret’s ashes will be spread near her childhood home in South Dakota, which remained close to her heart for her entire life.
