Monte Olsen

Monte Joyce Olsen, 53, of Missoula, Montana, passed away unexpectedly on September 18, 2025.

She was born on August 19, 1972, in Wolf Point, Montana, to Linda and Gary Frazer, weighing just 3 pounds 12 ounces. From her very first breath, she showed the strength of a fighter.

She grew up in Glasgow, Montana, and graduated from Glasgow High School. Over the years, she worked as a cook at numerous establishments in Glasgow, where she shared her passion for food with others. Her love for the mountains eventually led her to Missoula, where she attended the University of Montana for two years and built a life she loved. At the time of her passing, she was the Produce Manager at Albertsons, a role she cherished.

She had the biggest heart and always put others before herself. She loved music, singing, baking, and cooking. Family was at the center of her life, and she adored her nieces and nephews, especially. She also treasured the many special friendships she built throughout her life. Most importantly, she was a devoted Christian who loved the Lord with deep passion, and her faith was the foundation of her life. She touched countless lives with her love and light-often never realizing the impact she had on those around her.

She is survived by her mother, Linda, and stepfather, Robert; her brothers Marty (Lori) of Great Falls, MT, and Travis (Maggie) of Glasgow, MT; her sister Shanda (Kip) of Belfield, ND; five nieces, three nephews, and two great-nephews; along with aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends who will miss her dearly.

No funeral services are currently planned. The family invites those who knew and loved her to remember her in their own special way and celebrate the kindness and love she shared so freely.
