Olga M. Simpson, 78, of Okanogan, passed away peacefully on October 28, 2025, embraced by the love of her family.
Olga was born at home on May 7, 1947, in Harlingen, Texas, to Olegário and Maria (Salazar) Montelongo. She was raised in Sacramento, California, where she attended local schools, developed a love for learning, and enjoyed family gatherings. From a young age, she was known for her kindness, her sense of humor, and her willingness to help others. Following her high school graduation, she pursued her passion for creativity at beauty school before beginning her family life. In 1967, she married Duane Simpson, and together they raised six children in a small log cabin in the woods of Keller, Washington. She was known for her warm hospitality, her devotion to caring for others through food and fellowship, known especially for her fry bread, her love of knitting and crocheting gifts for others, and her unwavering faith as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Olga was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Andres Montelogo, Albert Montelogo, Robert Montelongo, and Gilbert Montelogo; and her granddaughter, Makenzie Simpson. She is survived by her brother, Joey Montelongo, and her sisters, Maria Montelongo and Lupe Montelongo. Also surviving to cherish her memory is her former husband, Duane Simpson, and their six children: sons, Michael (Alicia) Simpson, Bones (Tiki) Simpson, Isaac (Lydia) Simpson, Joseph (Jessica) Simpson, and Fayce (Edna) Simpson; and daughter, Karenia (Shawn) Townsend. She is also survived by sixteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy throughout her life.
Her life was one of faith, love, and endurance- a legacy of strength, kindness, and devotion to her family and Jehovah. She rests now in His memory, awaiting the day when He will call and she will answer. Forever in our hearts.
Her family will honor her memory with a private celebration of life.
Revelation 21:4
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."
