Brooke Olson Obituary

Brooke was a 16 year old Sophomore at Air Academy High School and a 12-year Colorado Springs resident, who was born in Landstuhl, Germany.

She is survived by her parents: Tad Olson and Jae Garner; siblings: Emily & Connor; and Grandparents: Allen Pond, Stella Thompson, Ruth & Charlie Foxx, and Dolan & June Olson.

Like most 16 year old girls, Brooke was full of life and cared about her hair, makeup, music, and most of all...her friends. She enjoyed, shopping, horses, singing, acting, and her dogs. Spending time with her friends was a must. We often thought that her cell phone was an extra appendage on her body.

Visitation will take place Thursday, 6 March 2014 from 4:00 - 7 p.m. at Swan-Law Funeral Directors, 501 North Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs. A Memorial service is scheduled for Friday, 7 March 2014 beginning at 11:00 am, First Lutheran Church, 1515 N. Cascade Ave, Colorado Springs.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions in Brooke Olson's name to be made to the Memorial Fund of First Lutheran Church, 1515 N. Cascade Ave, Colorado Springs.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I'll always remember Brooke in my heart. I will forever cherish the day I met her while attending Eagleview Middle School and will never forget that day. I wish I had gotten to say goodbye to her before I left Colorado Springs.... I miss her very much and can't go a day without thinking about her. God is with her now and I'm glad that god is taking care of her. I am a former Air Academy High School student and I pray for her friends who are taking this hard as well.
