Robert Clarence Olson was born April 30, 1946, in Annandale, Minnesota to Clarence and Sadie (Snabb) Olson. Bobby was a 1964 graduate of Annandale High School. After his graduation, he continued to dedicate many of his days to farming on the family farm, in addition to working at Dura Supreme and French Lake Curb.
A proud supporter of the Minnesota Vikings, Robert found joy and frustration in cheering on his favorite team. In his free time, Robert enjoyed deer hunting, a passion that brought him closer to nature and provided moments of solitude and tranquility. He cherished spending time with his family and friends, sharing stories, and laughter.
He is survived by his daughter, Marla (Kevin) Westphal of Big Lake; sisters, Delores (Floyd) Nolan of Annandale, LaVerne Pelzer of South Haven, Barb (Dan) Rosten of Annandale, and Janice (Frank) Rogers of Cokato; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents; an infant brother; and sisters, Lorraine Werner and Lucille Anderson.
A special “Thank You” to CentraCare Hospice for their kindness and all the support given to Bobby’s family.
