We are sad to announce the passing of our Father, Allan James Olson, on June 13, 2025. He was born in Prince Albert, SK, on December 8, 1935, to Fred and Marjorie Olson. He grew up in Prince Albert where he met his wife, Audrey Moxness, and was married on, October 23, 1954. They had 4 children, Nancy, Larry, Linda and Sandra. Dad was a sports enthusiast, he coached Women’s Fastball, Hockey and Curling. He also was natural Athlete and excellent in all sports.

He was an avid curler and curled in many Bonpiels. He was also inducted into The Prince Albert Sports Hall of Fame as a Coach and Teambuilder. In his later years he took up bowling, and to no surprise, he was great at that. His favorite hobby was building the most unique bird houses, one resembling Grey Owls Cabin.

Dad retired from Canadian National Railway and soon after that, Dad and Mom drove to the East coast which they absolutely loved. They also made many trips to Edmonton and Lake Cowichen to see their Children and Grandchildren. Dad loved being at his cabin in Waskesiu and enjoyed his fishing adventures. Dad leaves to mourn, his children, Nancy Olson and partner Sean McDermott, Larry Olson and wife Cindy Olson (Beskal), Sandra and husband Perry Scherle; grandchildren, Allan and wife Lulu McCullough, Steven Olson and partner Megan Buchanan, Rebecca Olson and soon to be husband Drew Smart, and not at least Kyle Scherle (Ou la ma) which he was called.

You will truly be missed by many and will never be forgotten. Thank you to The Rosthern Mennonite Nursing Home staff in caring for our Dad while he was there.
