Jun 30, 1938 - Mar 21, 2018
Germaine Olsen (nee Accarias) passed away peacefully at the Kamloops Senior's Village in Kamloops BC on March 21, 2018.
She was predeceased by her husband Richard Olsen in 2008, and survived by her sons and brother: Rod Olsen, daughter in law Donna, grandchildren Tyler, and Derek. Son Mark Olsen, daughter in law Rosemaree, grandchildren Tanner, and Alisa. Brother Raymond Accarias, and sister in law Marjorie.
Germaine was born in New Westminster, British Columbia, and raised on the family farm in South Surrey, BC. She graduated from Semihamoo High School and after completing business college met and eventually married Richard Olsen.
Germaine was very involved in the White Rock community taking on the role of President of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Program, member of the lacrosse association as well as the team mom on the boys hockey and lacrosse teams. Probably her most remembered role was as the ever present mom with the open door that hosted the boy's friends and extended family.
Germaine will be remembered as a fun loving person with an infectious laugh that always placed family and friends as her priority.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer's Society of BC are appreciated.
Germaine will be greatly missed and we hope that you can share some memories and stories about Germaine at her celebration of life on April, 28th, 2018 from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm at the Hampton Inn & Suites 1500 Langley Bypass, Surrey BC.
