After getting married Olene and her husband, Jess, owned and operated Stormy Point Resort on Table Rock Lake. After they sold the resort, they moved to a farm where they owned 80 acres. This was called Stormy Point Farm on 291 Highway. When Olene wasn't working on the farm or the resort she worked as a book keeper at Midland Camera and Gretchen's Dress Shop.

As a proud member of Trinity United Methodist Church, Olene found great joy in her faith and was an active participant in many community organizations. Her involvement in the Laubach Literacy Club reflects her dedication to education and helping others. She was also a member of the Women’s City Club, the Eastern Jackson County Republican Club, and the Older Women’s League, contributing her time and energy to each group.

Olene is survived by her niece, Suzanne Storms; her sister-in-law, Norma Storms; and her cousins, Robby Camp, Cindy Camp McComb, Chris Camp, and Pam Parrent. Her warmth and kindness will be missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Oland and Edith Stovall, and her husband, Jess T. Storms. Olene's legacy lives on through her family and the many lives she touched throughout her time here on earth.
