Eunice Olson
Eunice E. Olson, 97, of Williston, N.D., passed away Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018, at Bethel Home. Eunice Estelle (Hayward) Olson was born Nov. 22, 1920, to Murl H. and Marian (Hudson) Hayward. She was the 6th child in a family of 8 children. She attended the Haydraw School which was several miles away; so she and her siblings rode horseback to school.
Eunice married Oscar Olson December 4, 1938, in Sidney, Mont. She helped her husband on the farm and sold Avon products to neighbors and friends for many years. She had a special place in her heart for chickens, had a big garden and lots of flowers. One of her favorite times was to find Crocus blooming in the early spring. She was an avid reader and loved doing crossword puzzles.
Eunice is survived by her 3 children, Muriel (Marlin) Overstreet of Billings, Mont., Paulette Iverson of Billings, Mont., and Roland (Susan) Olson of Williston, N.D.; 10 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson; and her sister, Maxine Hayward of Williston, N.D.
Eunice is preceded in death by her husband of 51 years; her parents; sisters, Ellen McRae, Blanche Rindahl, Alice McIntyre, Nellie Pierce; and her brothers, Roland Hayward, Raymond “Gene” Hayward; son-in-law, Keith Iverson; and a granddaughter, Jill Olson.
