Alice was Precious' mother and she is the original inspiration for Generational Compassion.
Alice Eleanor Olsen, 94, of Overland Park, KS, formerly of North Platte, NE, passed away Friday, February 15, 2013, at the Overland Park Nursing and Rehab in Kansas.
Alice was born July 16, 1918, at Bessemer, MI to Oscar and Anna Johnson Gustafson. She grew up in Bessemer then attended the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
On November 11, 1937, Alice married Rev. Ivan Edwin Olsen in Chicago, IL. They moved to North Platte where they made their home and raised their children. Alice was the beloved pastor's wife, and as such, enjoyed sharing the duties and privileges of her pastor-husband. She led women's ministries, mentored women, and called upon the sick and grieving. She was very much involved in the various ministries of the Berean Church over the years, providing leadership in prayer, evangelism and social action including the Berean Children's Home and Maranatha Bible Camp, of Maxwell, of which her husband was principal founder.
Since her husband's death in 1993, Alice continued to represent Christ in many venues and was called upon to speak to groups of married couples, women and seminary students. She was frequently highlighted as a speaker at the Berean National Conventions. But despite the call of the public life, she most enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom cherished her and will miss her greatly.
This fund will enable Generational Compassion to help meet physical and spiritual needs of elderly friends who live in nursing homes. Your generous gift honors Alice and furthers this important ministry.
