Linda May Olson, the daughter of Darrell Dean Spencer and Nellie May Spencer (Clark), was born at home on August 6, 1942 in Runnells, Iowa. Linda grew up in Peru, Iowa as the oldest of seven children. Linda spent her working years as a self-taught cook, waitress, and then as a housewife.

On March 31, 1982, Linda was united in marriage to the love of her life, Marlin Olson. They made their home in Beech, Iowa. Linda was famous for her homemade pies. She enjoyed sending pies into work with Marlin to share.
She perfected her pie crust while running the Do Drop Inn, a restaurant she took over from her mom, in Seymour, Iowa. Linda had a large garden that she enjoyed sharing the bounty with others. She often spent time collecting treasures and antiques. Linda loved to quilt and was known for her unique color combinations that she chose.

She looked forward to spending time with her sisters doing hair and nails, frequenting the casino, and having their annual sisterhood pajama party.
In the past few years, Linda moved back to Seymour, Iowa to be close to family and continued her passions of gardening and quilting. She also enjoyed renovating and adding personal touches to her new home.
