Julie Diane Olsen
Julie Diane Olsen, Mother, Grandmother, and friend to all passed peacefully Saturday May 20th, 2023 after her two year battle from a Stroke. Julie lived a beautiful simple life, on the front porch with the love of her life, Dixon Fairbanks. Julie and Dixon would look forward to times with sons Jason (Ashley) Walker, Billy (Emily) Fairbanks and the four grandboys Jack, Jett, Zayden and Cohen. Days with the boys running around the yard, sleepovers in the cabin and of course some bull sh*t was always on the agenda at Grandma and Grandpas. She was also a great cook which included peanut butter bars and tacos on Christmas. Julie’s family was always number one, but she always had the ability to make all her friends, coworkers and nurses feel like they were first in line. She loved her small-town -livin in Payson along with all the friends that would stop by to have a cold one on their way home from work. Just to stop by, check in and catch up on the day. As she struggled with speech after her stoke her physical touch with others would make all the nurses cry. Her long hugs, eye contact and kisses were heaven sent, we will all miss those more than words can express. Julie lived every day with a grateful heart in her short 66 years that we were all blessed to have her here. To honor Julie, live everyday enjoying the simple pleasures of life. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Fairbanks home, Friday May 26th 3-6pm open house 645 E 100 N Payson, UT 84651. Family of Julies would like to thank all the doctors and nurses that all went over and above, you are all amazing!
