Obituary of Joseph Paul Olson

J. Paul Olson and Sharon Jean Olson True love….. Two imperfect people who never gave up on each other. Sharon left this life on April 25, 2020 after a battle with cancer. The love of her life, Paul, couldn't bear to live without her and joined her on the other side on April 30, 2020.They met in Oct. 1962, for Paul it was love at first sight. He was way out of his league with the beautiful redhead, and his pursuit of her might be considered harassment by today's standards. Where there is love there is hope and on Jan.7, 1963 they were married in Logan Temple, sealed together for time and all eternity. They were blessed with four children, Jean (Bob), Carla (deceased), Craig (Patti), Nancy (deceased) and a special daughter, Erika (Nick). Grandchildren Thomas, Jennifer, Michael and Matthew. They were strong, dedicated members of the LDS Church, generous with their time and resources and were adored by all who knew them.
