Mary T. Olson

It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected death of Mary T. Olson on October 30, 2025. Mary was born on May 31,1959 in Chelsea, Mass. to Ralph Jeun Clark and Elizabeth Sarah (Meehan) Clark. Though she held many job titles over the years, the one she loved most was being a teacher in Chapparal, NM. She loved her children, 11 grandchildren, and 6 (soon to be 7) great-grandchildren. She enjoyed spending time with them and on her own time watching Horror shows and Sci Fi. She also recently got back into crafting and was proud of the things she made often showing them to people.

Mary is survived by her 4 children, Tina Hafeman, Vic Olson (Raven Cavert), Daniel Olson (Jordan Laplant), and Jessica Riddle; her 11 grandchildren, Eliza (Jimmy), Ariyana (Damond), Natasha, Mason, Niles, Logan, Alec, Mya, Bella, Annie, and Austyn; and her soon-to-be 7 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by 4 siblings, Kathy Lizor (John), Roy Clark, Ralph Clark, and Jenny Hermans (John).

Mary is preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Elizabeth Clark; and her sister, Carol Koepke.

There will be a celebration of life held at a later time as determined by her children.
