Biography

Nellie Olsen daughter of a Danish immigrant who graduated college with a teaching certificate in 1909. She was named Nellie, after her mother, but also an unbroken string of six Nellie's which stretched back to Nellie Crawford who immigrated to Belfast Northern Ireland from Glascow the early 19th century. My mother was raised in a culture that valued education, family, responsibility and hard work. Our extended family included the very large Moore family, but also the Olsens, Christiansens, Petersens, and others who had immigrated in the mid-19th century to a tight cluster of towns which we called the"Danish colonies." Her father died, leaving a widow and three children, and all these relatives played an important supportive role in our lives. My mother studied accounting, and became a "book keeper." She stayed at home with the children until about 1943 when my father was in the war. She went back to work part-time as a clerk, but soon was the bookkeeper at the neighborhood A&P store. Eventually, she became the Comptroller of The Lutheran Hospital. She was always very active in women's business organizations. Her favorite hobby was painting. She was very social and had many friends. She died at 92 of pneumonia, and if not for the pneumonia, she likely would've lived to age 98 like her mother. [1]
