Patricia Anne Olson

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Patricia Anne Olson, aged 80, of Colchester, passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2025. She was born on January 8, 1945, in Queens Village, NY, and was the daughter of the late Harry and Anne Cannavotto. She is survived by her daughters: Brenda Olson Harris (and granddaughters Kacie [and great grandson Kameron], Tonie and Piper Harris) of Middletown, CT, Mary Olson (and grandson Eddie Olson) of Portland, CT, and Catherine Olson Monsanto (husband Reggy and grandsons Nicholas [and wife Kylie] and Nathan Monsanto) of Ormond Beach, FL. As well of numerous friends.

She fondly recalled the many years spent residing on Amston Lake with her daughters, as well as her time employed by Jefferson X-Ray in Hartford. She was a devoted member of St. Andrew’s parish in Colchester and firmly believed in the virtue of giving over receiving. Patricia was a loving mother and grandmother, known for her generous spirit and willingness to assist anyone in need. She had a natural ability to engage in conversation and share stories with anyone she encountered.  She will live on the hearts and memories of everyone she met. 

A celebration of life is being planned at the St. Andrew Church, 128 Norwich Avenue, Colchester, CT. June 7, 2025 at 10:00 AM. To share an online condolence please visit www.auroramccarthyfuneralhome.com
