Oma E. (Rachel) Olson was born October 4, 1936 in Flatwoods, Louisiana to Henry and Evia (Edwards) Rachel.  She was united in marriage to Elwood Olson in Virginia, Minnesota in 1956.  To this union, two children; Randy and Brenda, were born.  On October 10, 1987, Oma married Harry Wahldick in Spicer, Minnesota.  Oma was a member of the Morris VFW and American Legion auxiliaries, and the Morton Lioness Club.  She loved all sports, and loved watching and listening to the Twins and Vikings play.  Cooking, baking, gardening, and canning were a few of Oma’s passions.  She spent her free time at the lake near Spicer, and loved to go fishing.  Oma enjoyed bowling, playing cards, and throwing darts.  She loved all of her animals, especially her dog.  Oma was the type of person that would do anything for anyone, and always worried about everyone but herself.
