Elizabeth Ann Olsen, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on August 18, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on December 19, 1944, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to Ruth and Harold Olsen, Elizabeth lived a vibrant and multifaceted life with a passion for creativity and community.
She is survived by her devoted son, Chris, and daughter-in-law, Kristen; grandchildren, Romero, Natalie, Melanie, Miles, Ellie, and Chase; siblings, Bill, Fred, and Carl; and nieces, Sandra, Rebecca, and Megan. She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Neil.
Her legacy lives on in the laughter of her grandchildren, the memories shared by loved ones, and the countless lives she brightened with her caring spirit.
Here at the Center we remember Elizabeth for her deep appreciation of our teachings and her love of music. She often had a wonderful book to recommend and delighted in sharing her knowledge of ecological, water-wise gardening. Elizabeth added her own quiet grace to the tapestry of our community, weaving in wisdom, curiosity, and genuine kindness.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to support the Ceres Community Project: https://www.ceresproject.org/giving-options-for-individuals.
