Obituary
Vicki Lynn Olson, age 64, of Blanchardville, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly on April 17, 2026, at her home. Born on August 27, 1961, in Monroe, Wisconsin, Vicki was a lifelong resident of Lafayette County. She spent her early years in Argyle before moving with her family to Blanchardville, where she would make her home for the rest of her life. Vicki graduated from Pecatonica High School with the Class of 1979 and was united in marriage to Rodney Olson on October 18, 1980, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Blanchardville.
Vicki was a woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. Whether tending to her flowers and garden, settling in with a good book, or creating beautiful diamond art, she embraced the quiet moments that made life meaningful. She was a devoted fan of University of Wisconsin athletics and had a special love for all things Disney. Vicki was also known for her homemade fudge, a sweet treat that family and friends looked forward to and remembered fondly. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and happiness.
Her caring nature extended beyond her home as she gave her time to the Blanchardville Public Library Board and the Pecatonica Christian Preschool Board, always eager to support her community and help others.
Vicki will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
