Olga Peterson dies at 79

Glenn County Observer

With her sons Brian “Butch” and Dan Peterson, along with their father, Jim, at her side, Olga Marie Peterson died in Chico on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023, following a courageous 10-year battle with cancer.

She was born on Sept. 1, 1943.

Her sons agree, “She was a force, a truly creative spirit, and the best mother her two sons could wish for.” Formerly from the Orland area, over the years she was involved in a number local organizations, including the Orland Business Improvement Association, the Orland Historical and Cultural Society, and the Orland High School Safe and Sober Grad Night.

A memorial service (also live-streamed) is planned for 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11, at First Lutheran Church of Orland. All are welcome.
