F. Marie Olsen; Retired Key-Punch Operator
F. Marie Olsen of Encino, who was a retired key-punch operator with UCLA, has died at Guild Nursing Center in Reseda. She was 75.
Born F. Marie Zea in Bemidji, Minn., she died Sunday of respiratory problems, said Donald Olsen, her husband of nearly 50 years.
Mrs. Olsen and her husband, who worked in construction, were married in 1940 and came to California from Minnesota in 1943. They lived in San Francisco and Santa Monica before moving to Encino in 1948. She worked as a key-punch operator with UCLA and retired in the early 1980s, after working 22 years.
She is survived by her husband, Donald Olsen of Encino; daughter, Judy Lawrence of Stockton, Calif.; sister, Bonita Brewer of Rosemead, Calif.; and two grandchildren.
A memorial service was held Thursday at Praiswater Funeral Home in Van Nuys, which handled the arrangements.
