Robert S. Ove was born on April 6, 1927, Racine, Wisconsin, the United States to Vernon H. (a tool and die expert) and Helen E. (a milliner and teacher; maiden name, Hanson) Ove.
Robert S. Ove studied at Carthage College and became a Bachelor of Arts in 1949. He continued graduate study at the University of Iowa and Wittenberg University and became a Master of Divinity.
Robert S. Ove began his first teaching job at Whitetail, ignorant of the culture and history of his Chiricahua students, descendants of the great chief Geronimo. The Chiricahua gradually accepted this well-intentioned outsider into their community and shared parts of their history and culture with him. Living among this reminder of America's past, Ove glimpsed a way of life that few Americans had been allowed to know. He saw Apache mothers still carrying their infants in cradleboards, grandmothers, and mothers still sewing traditional beaded buckskin dresses for their daughters' puberty ceremonies, and men still making traditional Apache bows and arrows. Such an experience inspired him to write a book Geronimo's Kids: A Teacher's Lessons on the Apache Reservation in 1997.
Robert S. Ove served as a pastor of Lutheran churches from 1958 to 1991. Also, he was a professor at a seminary in Kathmandu, Nepal.
