Quinnetta Mae Howell, 75 of Cabool, MO, was born on April 16, 1951 to Clay and Mary(Noland) Frisbee. She joined the Lord on Friday, November 6, 2026.
She was born and raised here in Cabool. After high school she went on to graduate from the College of the Ozarks. She started her working career at Rogers Bros. Tire in Mountain Grove, where she met her husband Richard Howell, of 51 years. Since then she has worked as the Business teacher in the Cabool High School and other positions at the school until she started her family. Then she worked for Cabool Lease as a bookkeeper. She decided that she wanted to go back to teaching because she enjoyed it so much and got her masters degree in Special Education. She worked in the High School and Middle School, where she retired in 2016, the same year as her husband, so they could enjoy their family and farming.
Over the years she has enjoyed summers of raking and hauling hay with family and neighbors, taking family trips to Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Wisconsin and Kentucky. As well as several family trips to Branson and Silver Dollar City. She has always been a very family oriented person and cared very much for her family and friends she has made over all of her years here with us. She was a devoted christian and attended the General Baptist Church of Cabool.
Preceding her in death were her grandparents, Tobe and Belle Frisbee and Quinter and Minnie Noland; parents, Clay and Mary (Noland) Frisbee; brothers Lyle and John Frisbee and her son, Robert Clay Howell.
