Another Obituary
Aubrey Anna Olson was born on December 8, 1986 and charmed the world for
23 years with her beauty, grace, and dignity. Aubrey was diagnosed with
the rare neuromuscular disease Friedreich's Ataxia at the age of 8. She
showed amazing strength as she fought this disease with perseverance and
courage before joining her brother Nicholas in heaven on August 7, 2010.
Aubrey was the National Goodwill Ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy
Association in 1998 and 1999 and inspired the world to join her in the
fight for a cure for her disease. Aubrey had a wonderful internal
beauty and cared so dearly for her friends and family. She taught us
the value of goals and determination as she worked tirelessly for her
degree in Child Psychology at the University of Minnesota, despite her
physical challenges and repeated hospitalizations. She was her
brother's keeper and her niece's mentor and role model. Aubrey enjoyed
volunteering and helping disadvantaged youth. She enjoyed swimming,
boating, sporting events, movies, and just spending time with friends
and family. Aubrey will be missed forever by her mother and father,
Cindy and Bruce Olson, sister Brittney, niece Cayli, Grandparents Joyce
and John Olson, and her many more loving relatives and treasured
friends. Aubrey was preceded in death by her brother, Nicholas, and
grandmother, Carol Rodberg. Funeral service, Wednesday, 2 PM at Our
Redeemer Lutheran Church, 825 Golf Avenue SW, Pine City, MN. Interment
Birchwood Cemetery. Visitation, Tuesday, 5-8 PM at the church and one
hour prior to service.
