(Olson, nee McLean)

Feb 16, 1920 - Sept 30, 2011

We regret to announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt. Her long journey is now over. Mum was the last surviving child of nine born in Bellevue, Alberta to Sarah and Joseph McLean.

She was predeceased by her son William (PeeWee) Olson in 1994, her husband Robert McCaugherty in 2006, three brothers and five sisters.

She is survived and will be dearly missed by her daughter Arlene Minosky, grandsons Darren (Char), Terry (Tammy), daughter-in-law Isobel, great grandchildren Taylor and Connor Olson all of Kamloops and her step-daughter Arlene (Stan) Turner of Princeton, B.C. and their family, a niece and nine nephews.

Mum was the floor supervisor at F.W. Woolworth for 30 years in Kamloops before retiring and marrying Robert. They lived in Kelowna for 20 years before returning to live in Kamloops.

Many thanks to Dr. Mavis Holman for her compassionate care over the years and the staff on 2nd floor of Ponderosa Lodge for their care and concern and who made her last months so comfortable.

No service by request.

Donations to the BC Children's Hospital or Canuck Place would be appreciated. Mum always said our family was so blessed to have had healthy children.
