When Ollie was about two months old, her father, Raymond, passed away. Ollie's mother, Josie, was later remarried to Glenn Helling and together they raised Ollie in Alexander, ND. Ollie was educated in Alexander and graduated from Alexander High School. Following her high school graduation she attended UND Williston for a couple of years before transferring to Minot State College where she received her B.S. Degree in Accounting and Business Management. Ollie married Greg Glasoe December 19, 1970, in Alexander, ND. They made their home in Minot, where Ollie was employed by Union National Bank and later, First Computer, before beginning her employment with Verendrye Electric Co-op in 1975.

Ollie loved to spend time on the pontoon relaxing and visiting friends. She also enjoyed snowmobiling, taking photos, and shopping.
