Paw Paw - Marilou Olsen, 72, of Paw Paw, died Nov. 11, 2020. Marilou was born Dec. 12, 1947, in Vicksburg, MI, the daughter of Arthur and Una (Schingledecker) Smith.
Marilou shared her zest for life with everyone around her. She loved crafting and maintained a garden that would rival even the best from any magazine. In her younger years, she was known to enjoy an evening out to dance the night away with her husband, Terry. Known as her family’s social director, she often brought everyone together for reunions, cookouts, or just good fun. Nothing brought Marilou greater joy than being close to those she loved.
Marilou was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Arthur “Roy” Smith.
Surviving are her husband, Terry; children, Erik (Kerri) Olsen, Clint (Michelle) Olsen, Amanda (Eric) Musson, William Keene, Robert (Jeannia) Keene; grandchildren, Mason, Callie, Sara, Melissa, Rachel, Adam, Ashley, and Derek; great-grandchildren, Lily, Delmar, and Robert; siblings, Charlotte (Lynn) Dehollander, Bonnie (Harry) Miller, Pam (Willie) Wilson, Nancy (John) Crabtree, Marcia Heath, and Steve Smith; and several nieces and nephews.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration will be held in the spring.
