Arianne Grace Oler of Wentzville, Missouri passed away on February 14, 2023 at the age of 9.
Arie was born March 8, 2013 in St. Louis and attended 4th grade at Stone Creek Elementary in Wentzville, MO. She loved school and the school bus; her cheerful spirit and tenacity influenced many teachers, classmates, therapists, doctors, nurses, neighbors, and friends.
Arie loved any and every shade of purple, watching basketball, hide and seek, having her nails done, and coloring. She had a delightful sense of humor and a laugh that will be so very missed. Arie was one of the most inclusive people – always sure to make room for everyone. Arie spent many days and nights lovingly cared for by the amazing staff at Mercy Children’s Hospital. In her short life she was a poster child for Mercy Hospital Child Life and a wheelchair runway model for Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis.
Arie is survived by her parents, Alex and Ayla Oler, her brother, Austin and sister, Addison. Grandparents, Kevin and Sandy Oler of St. Charles, IL and Debra and Roy Young of Albuquerque New Mexico, and Great Grandmother, Margit Schleimer also of Albuquerque, her Aunt, Paige (Ben) Peltier and cousin, Ruth, and her Uncle, Grant Oler of St. Charles, IL. She will also be missed by her extended family, beloved friends and caregivers, and her therapy dog, Oakley.
