Olabell grew up in the Kansas City, Missouri area where she helped her grandparents who ran a rod and gun club for many years. After she and Burlie were married, they moved to Burlie’s family farm in Montreal. Born as a city girl, Olabell was self-taught in many things and quickly became accustomed to the country life, but she always remained a lady. She was a devoted homemaker for many years where she raised her children before going to work at the Gun Club. Olabell worked at the gun club for many years and it became an extension of her home. Olabell and Burlie welcomed many young people into their lives through the Gun Club and had made many friends during their time there before they retired in 1999. She always cared for others before herself and her beautiful smile always gave you a peaceful loved feeling. Olabell had accepted Christ as her Savior and in the recent years had attended New Beginnings Baptist Church and Brumley Christian Church. In her earlier years, she was a member of the PTA and later became a member of the Missouri Trap Shooters Association and the American Trap Shooters Association. She was a member of the Camden County Republican Club and was Inducted into the Missouri Trap Shooters Hall of Fame in 2002. She loved eating Ice Cream and gambling and in her spare time enjoyed going to Las Vegas and the river boat casinos. She had a passion for dancing and was proud to have voted for Donald Trump twice. The time she cherished the most was time spent with her family and many friends. Olabell was a loving mama, grandma, great-grandma, aunt and a caring neighbor and friend. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. We celebrate her life and know that now she can eat all the ice cream she wants. We will treasure the memories she created for her family and friends.
