The tragic passing of a cherished soul is captured in the solemn words of Carrie Olson’s obituary.
The celebration of Olson’s life marks the start of her story. Dave and Karen Olson were her parents when she was born. August 8, 1984, saw her birth in Davenport, Iowa.
She attended Assumption High School, where she received her diploma in 2003, as part of her life’s journey. Olson continued her education at Kirkwood Community College after that.
She then attended Davenport’s La’ James International College to further her education. It showed a dedication to learning as well as personal development.
But her obituary’s pages testify to a life cut short by confusing circumstances. Testimonials from friends and family revealed the warmth and love she radiated.
They talked adoringly of her passion for the great outdoors and her dog Kolby. Since she was eleven years old, she has been friends with Amanda Smith for ten years.
Olson’s obituary turns into a moving illustration of the gap left by her premature death and the influence she had on others in her immediate vicinity.
