Agatha Olson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Agatha (Kathy) Olson of Glastonbury passed away peacefully on September 27th at the age of 96. She was born in Bristol, CT to Gottfried and Amelia (Fengler) Fritz. Kathy and her previously deceased and beloved husband, Edward Olson, were longtime residents of Marlborough, CT and St. Augustine, Florida. She leaves behind her cherished family: sons David and wife Elaine of Enfield, Donald and wife Ellen of Glastonbury, Olson grandsons Michael and wife Mary, Eric, and Adam and granddaughter Kathryn and husband Ross Katkowski as well as two great- granddaughters, Nora and Haley Katkowski. She spent countless hours playing cards and games, on nature walks and teaching the art of skipping stones to her grandchildren. Though small in stature she was powerful in nature and had a great sense of humor, especially when teasing with her sons. Kathy was born with a musical soul. Without reading a note of music, she had the amazing ability to play any song or melody with heart and proficiency. Her talented hands also produced truly beautiful hand-crafted clothing and knitted and crocheted creations. She was an instructor and salesperson at Lee’s Yarn Shop in Middletown. She adored summers of boating on the Connecticut River, Long Island Sound and islands in their boat, the Kathy O. She loved the sun and her golden tans were unmatched. She will be missed and we wish her smooth sailing under sunny skies. Arrangements are by Rose Hill Cemetery. A private service will be held.
