DEBBIE OLSON

PRESIDENT

Debbie has lived in Tyrrell County for over 40 years. She moved here with her family from Ohio. They cleared land that was purchased by her parents and helped farm what was known as Sunnyside Acres. Over the years Debbie has owned and managed several businesses. She still keeps the books for her family's businesses. Her most recent endeavor however, has been the opening of “Black Dirt Coffee Shop and Café “ on the Scuppernong River here in Columbia. She is married to Eric Olson. Together they have 4 children, 3 of whom are married and live also in Tyrrell County. When not working, Debbie enjoys spending time with her family. Having eleven grandchildren keeps her very busy, but she would not trade this for anything in the world. Debbie is an active member of Gum Neck Church of Christ.
