Bloomville, NY - BLOOMVILLE - It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend, who left us March 21, 2025, to enter into the gates of heaven.

Lillian Mae (Heck) Olsen, 83 of Bloomville, born April 24, 1941 in Oneonta, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family. A friend to many, she was a cherished member of the community, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and strength. She worked at SKCS for more than 40 years, retiring in 2024. SKCS was a second family to her. She enjoyed gardening, shopping, thrifting and spending time with her family. She truly felt blessed in many ways throughout her 83 years of life.
