She grew up in Kansas City Missouri, then, during the depression she came west with her family, settling initially in Oregon City. Ollie was the proud mother of three children: Valerie, Ella and Milo. Valerie and Ella preceded her in death. She was a hard worker who invested 35 years of her life in Good Samaritan Hospital, where she worked on the housekeeping staff and loved her friends and co-workers. She also enjoyed gardening, crossword puzzles and the daily “jumble,” her favorite shows “The Price is Right” and “Lets Make a Deal,” shopping and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was a bright and easy-going woman who lived to make the lives of others better. She was always ready to help anyone who had a need, while maintaining a very strong inner character. She looked for the good in everyone, and leaves behind a legacy of kindness and care for others. Ollie Belle is survived by her son Milo, her two grandchildren Brian and Cheryl, and her 3 great-grandchildren Billy, Brittany and Brianna.
