Jane Arlene Olsen

Jane Arlene Olsen, 71, passed away on June 29, 2026.

Born in Newport, Rhode Island, Jane carried a lifelong connection to the ocean. The rhythm of the tides and the familiar shoreline remained enduring sources of comfort throughout her life. The beach was one of her favorite places, a place where she found peace, reflection, spiritual grounding, and a lasting sense of home.

Jane worked for many years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, caring for others with dignity, compassion, and a steady presence, often offering comfort and reassurance when it was needed most. Her warm smile, easy laugh, and kindness were deeply felt by those around her.

Those who knew Jane remember her as thoughtful and gentle, with a calm spirit and an appreciation for life's simple moments. She found joy in the quiet cadence of daily life, especially in familiar routines and simple conversations shared with family.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Herman Olsen, Jr., and Pauline Olsen (née Pelerine). She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Krista Olsen, and is survived by her sisters, Paulette Thatcher, Barbara Mendiola, Sandra Lyden, and Tricia Tyler; and her extended family.

A private service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.
