"Mary made a career for herself in the fleet leasing business working at both GE Capital and most recently at Wheels, Inc.," Doug wrote in her obituary. "She made many friends and had many memories in her 25 years in this industry. Mary was a compassionate and loving person who would lend a helping hand to any one in need."

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be directed in Mary Olson's memory to the NCH Foundation, 3060 W Salt Creek LN, Arlington Heights, IL 60005.
