Marilyn Olson, Supreme Guardian, has been involved with Job’s Daughters since she joined at the age of 13 because her sister Vickie was a member and always told her how great Job’s Daughters was! Marilyn is a Past Honored Queen, Majority Member, and Past Bethel Guardian of Bethel 20 in Torrington, Wyoming.  

She became involved with Jobies again when her daughter, Gina, joined.  Within six months she was Bethel Guardian and served in that capacity in Bethel 20 for two years. (Incidentally – Bethel #20 is still home and “#20 Rocks!”)  She was appointed as Grand 5^th Messenger in 1987 then was elected as Grand Marshal the next year.   Marilyn was Grand Guardian of Wyoming from 1992-93 and then was Grand Treasurer of Wyoming from 1994-2007.  She was elected to the Board of Trustees for JDI in 2004 and was Chairman of the Board in 2006-07. 

She has been married to Gary Olson for 38 years.  They own two businesses in Torrington and she worked at the businesses as a bookkeeper for several years before “retiring” about five years ago.  Gary is a Past Worshipful Master of the Torrington Lodge and is active in the local Shrine Club. When not doing Job’s Daughters activities they enjoy being snow birds in Arizona in their motor home. 

They have two children but their son, Michael, passed away at the age of 14 in a jet-ski accident. Their daughter, Gina, and three grandchildren live in Casper, Wyoming.  Needless to say they are very proud of Gina and her family.  She is a PHQ of #20, Torrington.  She has a Master’s degree in Counseling and is currently the Director of Children’s Services and Early Head Start at the Wyoming Child and Family Development Corporation in Casper.  Their grandson, Malcom is ten and the twins, Myllian and Gracelyn are five.  Gracelyn keeps asking Grandma when she can join Jobies!! 

Job’s Daughters has always been the constant influence in Marilyn’s life.  She was so proud of her daughter and her growth and involvement in Job’s Daughters that when she graduated Marilyn just kept “adopting” more daughters.  To see such wonderful development in the lives of these girls is a driving force to make sure that as many girls as possible receive the same opportunities and nurturing that only Job’s Daughters can give!

About Miss International Job's Daughter

Megan Semaniuk
Miss International Job’s Daughter 2008-2009
Miss Alberta Job’s Daughter 2008-2009  

Megan Semaniuk has been a member of Job’s Daughters for almost 7 years. Her father is a Mason and introduced her to our organization at the age of 9, where she attended her first ever Jobie Installation. Since then, she has held various positions in her own Bethel, becoming a Past Honored Queen, as well as a Junior Miss Alberta 2005 and Miss Alberta 2008. She has also served on her Grand Bethel and the Supreme Bethel, with various stations. Her favorite station is Guide, because the ceremony could not be done without her, and because others depend on you.

Megan is an only child who keeps herself occupied in her spare time! She enjoys scrapbooking, watching movies, being with her friends, and most of all – Jobies. She also participates in yoga classes in her spare time, and has a thing for fashion footwear. Anyone who knows her learns of her vast collection, totaling over 100 pairs!

Recently graduated from high school, Megan is taking the year off from post secondary and treating Jobies as her full time job. In the future, she plans to pursue a degree in business, which will help her in her dream to become a fully qualified Event Coordinator.

Because Megan is an only child, she is thankful for Job’s Daughters, which has given her lifelong friends and memories. The Daughters of Job’s Daughters have helped her to become the young woman she is today, and she wants to give back  to our organization what she has gotten out of it.
