Debra Lee Olson

Debra Lee Olson, lovingly known as Deb, passed away on November 19, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on July 21, 1953, Deb's spirit was bright and full of life, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to know her.

Deb was a cherished wife to her beloved husband, Russell, with whom she shared an extraordinary 43 years of love and partnership. Together, they created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional support. As a devoted mother, Deb grieved the loss of her son, Jamie Johnston, and found strength in her surviving children, Renae (Monty) Sisk and Ryan (Tonya) Holler. She embraced her role as a grandmother with immense joy, taking delight in her grandchildren Logan Sisk, Nathan Sisk, Riley Holler, and Reese Holler, whose lives were enriched by her boundless love and guidance.

Deb had a close bond with her siblings, Sheryl Lezotte, Judy Yaggie, and Jim (Connie) Johnston, each relationship radiating the love and connection that defined her life. Her family extended further with many nieces and nephews, all of whom carry pieces of her vibrant spirit within them.

An avid Halloween enthusiast, Deb had a knack for turning the spooky season into a delightful celebration, captivating both young and old with her creativity. She dedicated herself to the arts and crafts that not only showcased her talent but also brought joy to those around her. Playing cards was another passion, particularly canasta, where she relished friendly competition and cherished time spent with loved ones.

Her love for literature was matched only by her passion for nature photography, where she found beauty in the world around her, capturing fleeting moments and shared experiences through her lens.

Debra Lee Olson will be remembered not just for her hobbies and talents, but for the infinite love she cast over her family and friends. Her laughter, kindness, and infectious spirit will forever linger in the hearts and memories of everyone she touched. While we mourn her passing, we also celebrate a remarkable life well-lived, one that illuminated the lives of many and spread joy wherever she went.
