Carol Jean Olson was born on March 24, 1957 to Clyde and Ethel (Thimjon) Olson in Breckenridge, MN. She grew up in Wahpeton where she attended school until moving to Ortonville, MN, and graduating from Ortonville High School in 1974.

They lived for a short while in Ortonville, Embden, ND, and Sutton, ND, before settling in Fairmount where they raised their three daughters.
Carol dedicated her life to supporting her family in whatever they did. She enjoyed spending time with her grandkids, taking rides in the corvette, watching the leaves turn, cheering on the Minnesota Vikings, and spending time with her family and friends at their lake place on Ten Mile Lake.
