Kathryn Olsen
Kathy was preceded in death by her husband, Robert (Bob) Olsen, and by her parents, Louise and Anthony Florek.
Kathy is survived by her second husband, Louis Postiglione; brothers, Bob (Cindy) and Ed (Mary) Florek; her children, Bob (Julie) Olsen and Mike (Ruth) Olsen of MN, Michelle (Trent) Zak and John (Marie) Olsen of AZ, and stepchildren, Chris (Lauren) Postiglione, Jay Postiglione, and Melissa (Skip) Christiano of FL; grandchildren, Heather and Hannah Olsen, Ben (Samantha) Olsen, Andy (Emily) Olsen and Becky Olsen, Ciara and Eden Zak, Grace, Abby, and Lily Olsen, and step grandchildren, Anthony Postiglione and Vincent, Jack, Luke and Patrick Christiano; and great-grandchildren, Ivan, Rosalie and Henry Olsen.
Kathy married Bob Olsen in 1964 and they had four children together. Kathy was a registered nurse and spent her career caring for others. She always put her family first in her life and relied on her faith to keep her strong. Kathy and Bob moved from St. Louis Park to a farm in North Branch in the early 70’s. They thought it would be fun for their kids to grow up in the country on a farm and raise animals. Kathy’s passions were cooking and caring for animals of all kinds. If you ever visited her, you would be greeted with some delicious treat and by one of her beloved fur babies. When she spent time in AZ, she helped daughter Michelle with dog adoptions at the local shelter and to promote organizations that save animals.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make donations payable to No Kill Pima County, a non-profit organization that helps to save animals.
Kathy will be dearly missed by her beloved family and friends.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:30 a.m., Friday, September 7, 2018, at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church in North Branch. Visitation will be 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, September 6, 2018, at Grandstrand Funeral Home in North Branch, and continue one hour prior to the mass at church. Interment will be in St. Joseph Cemetery in North Branch.
