Freda Olson

While she was born Philomena, she always preferred being called Freda. She was born on April 15, 1935, in Girardville, Pennsylvania, daughter of the late Dominick and Irene (Thompson) Cuzzilla.

Freda married Larry Olson on Feb. 26, 1960, in Fort Dix, New Jersey. They moved to Florence in 1970 after Larry retired from the military. Larry preceded her in death on Feb. 29, 2016.

Freda was the last living member of her brothers and sisters.

Survivors include one son, Woodrow Brian (Linda Tuma) Olson of Minneapolis, Minn.; one step-son, Michael (Hui Suk) Olson of Sandy Hook, Va.; two grandchildren, Alexander (Samantha) Olson, and Sylvia (David) Weidman; and three great-children, Gideon Olson, Wesley Olson and Asher Weidman.

In accordance with Freda’s wishes, private family services will be held.
