Wanda was born on May 22, 1944, to William and Genrose (Chelf) McCloud. She graduated from St. James High School with the class of 1962. After high school, Wanda worked as a waitress for several years at Duke's and the Town House. On May 4, 1963, Wanda was united in marriage to Gary Olson at Zion Lutheran Church in Odin, MN. After their marriage they lived in Odin, then moved to Arizona for a short time before returning to Minnesota to settle in Ormsby. Wanda was known as the "Ormsby Mom" for the many children she cared for through her daycare over the years. Before retiring, she worked in housekeeping at the Good Samaritan Society in St. James.

Wanda was a devoted mother, grandmother, and the heart of her family. She will be remembered for her selfless spirit, her big heart, and the unconditional love she gave to everyone around her.

Wanda loved to sew and enjoyed spending time gaming with her grandchildren. At 82 years old, her favorite game was Animal Crossing. Her family was the center of her world, and she poured her love into every part of their lives. She was kind, generous, and always willing to help anyone in need without expecting anything in return.

Those who knew Wanda will remember her warmth, her laughter, and the way she made others feel loved and accepted. Her legacy of love, strength, and devotion will live on through her family and all who were blessed to know her.

Wanda will forever be remembered by her four children, Angie Olson, Amy (Dale) Tonne, Scott Olson, and Annie Olson; her grandchildren, James Tonne, Luke Tonne, Amber Tonne, Jackson Pooley, and Jace Pooley; two great-grandchildren, Archer and Emersyn Quinn; father, Leland (Ruth) Hansen; siblings, Sibyl (Doug) Anderson, Cindi (Rob) Logan, Kris (Jane) Hansen, and Tammy (Brad) Luedtke; sister-in-law, Nancy (Roger) Braaten; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
