Cousin Memories - Steve Ord
Olson Reunion Memories-
I loved the Olson Reunions. It was the best time of the year. It took me a long time when I was young to decide what to wear. My cousins my age; Chad, Linsey, Mindy, and Brandon were my best friends growing up. Teressa’s girls were like sisters to me. It was fun to see everyone. I remember them being at Mel’s church a lot with that delicious ham. Mel was good about always having a basketball or volleyball game going. All the Aunts and Uncles would take their turns talking to me individually which was hard for me to sit still and talk to them and I acted shy but I really liked it when they did that.
The Reunions in Star Valley were always fun for me. It became too far for our family to go a lot but I loved it up there. Staying at the hotel, hitting golf balls, hiking to Geyser Springs, seeing millions of grasshoppers jumping on Grandpas front lawn, and the smell of the old house was fantastic. I remember the Johns reunion was the first reunion I juggled at. I juggled dinner rolls for a silver dollar. It was great. Who knew that would turn into a tradition. I loved juggling at the reunions. In January I would already be thinking of what to do for my juggling act the next year. It was great to include Cameron and others. I loved the kids there. Football games and Mel’s trampoline were always fun too.
The best memories were always found in the yearly update by the Aunts and Uncles and then Grandpas poems. I have an arsenal of poems thanks to Grandpa that I use every talk. He was a great man. My hero. I want to be just like him. I’m so grateful for the Olson side of my family. They helped me see what an eternal family can be like. Thanks for the memories.

Teressa Ellen Olson Stahle
Teressa Ellen Olson Stahle 1957 ~ 2010
Teressa Ellen Olson Stahle, loving wife and mother, passed away on January 19, 2010 while in the service of her family.
Teressa was born to Melvin and Wilda Olson in Afton Wyoming on October 19, 1957. She was the youngest of seven children. Teressa graduated high school from Star Valley High School. Later, she attended Brigham Young University where she graduated with her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. During her time at BYU, she met her husband, Roger Stahle, and they were sealed together in the Salt Lake Temple. They celebrated 31 wonderful years together last December.
After graduating from BYU, she began teaching elementary school. She spent over 25 years devoted to helping children enjoy learning and to succeed every step of the way.
More than teaching, she loved spending time with her family; husband Roger, her four daughters Mindy, Candace (Palfreeman), Ginny, Madison and son-in-law Scott Palfreeman. She never missed out on an opportunity to cheer on and support those she loved most by going to various sport events and recitals. Her last days were spent with her latest additions to the family: her three beautiful grandchildren (Harley Stahle, and Chase and Carter Palfreeman).
After receiving a heart transplant almost 8 years ago she continued giving back by being a donor herself.
She was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her brothers Larry Olson (Shirley), Laron Olson (Darleen), Mel Olson (Sue), Donnie Olson (Cindy), Lynn Olson (Carol), and sister Deniese Ord (Craig).
She will be loved and missed.
The Viewing will be at Walker Family Mortuary, 187 South Main, Spanish Fork, UT on Monday evening January 25, 2010 from 6-8 p.m. and Tuesday morning prior to services at 10 a.m at the church.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 11 a.m. at the Spanish Fork East Stake Center, 870 East Canyon Rd, Spanish Fork.

Family Home Evening in Southern Utah!
We were able to get together at the Stum's house for a family home evening. Chad and Janae Olson (Aubrey & Parker), Tyler and Jaynie Jensen (Jonah, Avery,& Maren), David and Melissa Ord (Emily, Andrew, & Sarah) & Justin and Kristen Stum (Katelyn, Ali, Tyler, Sam, & Gracie). We had lots of fun guessing which gospel art picture each family had when they acted out the story and then enjoyed some yummy treats!
