She attended Ellington Center School in Hancock County and graduated from Forest City High School in 1939. Alma grew up in a traditional Norwegian home learning English when she started country school. Her love of Norwegian traditions and food was lifelong. She grew up on a farm learning the love of family, faith in God, and the nurturing of plants and animals. After graduation, Alma and her sister, Thelma started working in the Glenn L. Martin Bomber plant in Omaha, Nebraska to support the war effort. On November 28, 1943, she was married to Arno M. Olson at Miller Lutheran Church. Arno and Alma’s marriage of 69 years was blessed with five children; Billy, Karen, Janet, Sandra and Barbara. As a farm wife, she enjoyed helping with chores, driving tractors, and taking a truckload of grain to the local elevators for Arno. Alma loved working in her garden growing food and flowers. She was involved and served various leadership positions in Altar Guild, 4-H Clubs, Federated Garden Club, Birthday Club, Church Group (WELCA) and Ellington Prairie Couple's Club. Sewing clothes for her family and making handcrafted needlework brought joy to her life. Alma and Arno danced many nights at the Surf Ballroom to big band music and polka bands.
