Hallie Lace Olson, age 36, passed away on
September 14, 2014 at the Boundary Community
Hospital Emergency Room in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
Services to be held on Saturday, September 20,
2014 at 2:00 p.m. in the Mountain Springs Church
in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, with interment in
Grandview Cemetery.
 She
was born in Bonners Ferry, Idaho on September
16, 1977 to Roger and Peggy Myers, a beautiful
baby girl.
Hallie attended Mt. Hall Elementary School, and
graduated from Bonners Ferry High School in
1995. During the summer of 1993, she met her
future husband, Erik Olson, and they were
inseparable from that moment on. Upon
graduation, she moved to Spokane, Washington and
attended Phillip’s Junior College.
She moved back to Bonners Ferry, and she and
Erik were married on June 20, 1998 at Twin
Rivers Canyon Resort. She went to work for the
City of Sandpoint, and continued there, taking a
leave of absence to welcome their first
daughter, Kylee Elizabeth, in 2001. Upon the
arrival of their second daughter, Makenna
Julietta, in 2005, she left her employment and
became a stay-at-home Mom. Her girls were her
world, and she enjoyed them to the fullest,
enjoying camping, sports, plays, and fishing,
always making sure the girls had everything they
needed and lots more.
When both girls started school, she helped in
their classrooms and arranged many of their
class parties. She loved making ‘designer’ cakes
for school functions. People loved getting one
of her cakes, or cupcakes. She had many hobbies
and always seemed to be busy with one of them.
She enjoyed camping and all that goes with it.
When she moved in to a camp site… she REALLY
moved in. She tried to anticipate everything the
girls, as well as the others camping with her,
would need for a great weekend. She loved taking
her girls, and nieces and nephews, fishing. Of
course, there was always the friendly
competition of who catches the first and
biggest. She especially enjoyed knitting and
crocheting, making everything from socks to a
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, to stocking hats
and beautiful scarves for everyone she thought
needed one or just that she wanted to make
something and there was always somebody wanting
them. As well as knitting and crocheting, Hallie
was an accomplished seamstress, making their
family Halloween costumes every year, even
making them for nieces. She would get so excited
when she thought of a new project, and the
Christening gown she made for a niece was one of
those special projects.
All during Hallie’s growing up years, she loved
playing games, and she taught Kylee and Makenna
all the ones she knew, maybe even making up a
few. She loved music and loved to sing along.
Sometimes she didn’t quite know the words, but
that didn’t matter, she just sang the words she
thought were in the song, she would get laughed
at and teased, mostly by Erik, but she didn’t
care, she was just happy singing.
Hallie went to work for Wells Fargo bank in
2008. She quickly received promotions as she was
so good at what she did. She became Assistant
Manager and was awarded Top Banker in the state
of Idaho in 2013, going to Boise to receive this
award.
Although she worked outside the home, she still
took on bookwork for other people, and always
made time to load up her girls, kayaks, dogs,
fishing gear, her Mom, and anyone else that
wanted to go, and head to one of the local lakes
for an afternoon of fishing and swimming.
Hallie leaves behind, husband Erik, 2 daughters,
Kylee and Makenna, parents, Roger and Peggy
Myers, brother, Dustin Myers and his wife,
Amanda; niece, Bailey and nephew, Trenton, and

so much and loved spending time with.
