Judith Kulzer was born August 7, 1943 to Joseph and Mary (Murray) Kulzer in Breckenridge, MN. She graduated from Rutland High School in Rutland, ND. On June 30, 1962 she married Darrell Olson in Cayuga, ND. They lived in Fargo, ND for a few years. After leaving Fargo they spent a short time in Dickenson, ND and in 1968 they moved to Shakopee, MN. They then moved to Brooklyn Center, MN where Judy worked as a telemarketer.
In 1975 they moved to Veblen, where Judy and Darrell owned and operated Darrell’s Bar and Lounge for 22 years. After the sale of Darrell’s Bar and Lounge, they moved to Lake City in 1996. Judy worked again as a telemarketer in Sisseton for a few years. Darrell passed away in April 2004. In her later years she enjoyed working at Prairie Sky Ranch and the Veblen Library.
Judy loved all animals and was always willing to bring in any stray to her care. She was a meticulous baker and enjoyed baking for her family. Her grandchildren were important to her and she looked forward to spending time with each of them and always loved attending their birthday parties. In her free time Judy would spend time on her tablet, whether it was reading or looking up recipes. And of course, she found much enjoyment in trips to the casino.
Judy passed away Sunday, July 30, 2023 at Sanford in Fargo, ND at the age of 79.
