Hazel Marie Olsen

Hazel Olsen, 97, died at her Ocean Park residence on October 23, 2020.  A native of Portland, Oregon she was born July 1923, the daughter of Anita and Jay Williams.

On October 17, 1942 she married Robert Olsen, a schoolmate she had known since first grade.  They were married 65 years until his death.  After residing in Ridgefield, Washington for a number of years they moved to the Peninsula 33 years ago.

Hazel was a loving, caring person.  She enjoyed her flowers and vegetable garden, and was proud of her canning skills of which she did "lots".  She was an excellent seamstress.  Over the years she enjoyed lots of memorable camping with family and friends and loved time by the campfire.  Back in her day, she and Bob loved to dance and literally danced the night away.

Survivors include her daughter Marie (Ted) of Long Beach; grandsons Robert, and William (Kristie); great-grandchildren Justin (Sadie), Brianna, Amanda and Keegan; nieces and nephews Linda, Janice, Denny, Marvin and Mel.  Hazel was a longtime member of Ocean Park Moose where she enjoyed many friendships and loved the fellowship.
