Noreen, 89, died Sunday evening at Sheridan Memorial Hospital in Plentywood. Noreen, NOREEN the oldest daughter of LAGERQUIST Norbert and Edith (Charlson) Lenz, was born in Williston, N.D., on Jan. 10, 1925. She died in Sheridan Memorial Hospital on July 20, 2014, surrounded by her family and their love. Noreen grew up in northwestern North Dakota with her parents, her sister Kay, and brother Don. She graduated from Ray High School in 1942, attended Minot State and the University of North Dakota before going to work at Boeing in Seattle. In 1943, she met her soul mate, Eugene Lagerquist, in Minot, shortly before he left for service in World War II. After a two-year separation, Noreen traveled to the Seattle area to meet Gene who was returning from overseas. They were married two weeks later on Sept. 29, 1945. This union brought them “her girls,” Jeanne and Mary. The family lived in Ray, N.D., and Bainville, before moving to Plentywood in 1958. She was a dedicated mother and homemaker, and enjoyed the friendships and activities that came from being a Superintendent’s wife. After Gene’s passing, Noreen was fortunate enough to find renewed friendship and companionship with a childhood friend, Jerry Ulmen. Noreen was a member of the Plentywood Lutheran Church and was involved in several organizations in the community, including Village Hostesses. She had many hobbies including crossword puzzles, playing Bridge, Cribbage and Smear, creating greeting cards, reading, baking, cooking and caring for her greatgrandchildren. Noreen is best known for her love of family, her hospitality, her love of sports, her sense of humor and her class. She was happiest when surrounded by her family during such times as the holidays and trips to Medora. Noreen was accepting of everyone and no one was ever a stranger for long. Over the years, she welcomed many into her kitchen for Jeopardy, snacks, “gramma drinks,” friendship and love. Noreen is survived by her sister, Kay Shea of Seattle, Wash.; her two daughters, Jeanne Nathe of Redstone and Mary Chandler of Plentywood; grandchildren Judd Nathe of Sidney, Tara Nathe of Minot, N.D., Traci (Dwight) Von Schriltz of Billings, Korey Beaudette of Plentywood and Nicole (Josh) Jensen of Dagmar. Noreen is survived by five great-grandchildren, Luke Nathe, Jonah and Jaelee Von Schriltz, and Kaj and Atley Jensen. Noreen is preceded in death by her parents, Norbert and Edith Lenz; her husband, Eugene; her brother, Don Lenz; her grandson, Bram Jensen; and her sonsin-law, Kent Nathe and Jerry Beaudette.

She graduKATHERINE ated from HAALAND Huntley Project High School in 1937, and entered Eastern Montana College (MSUB), graduating with a teaching degree in 1939. Her first teaching position was at Cheery Creek, a one-room school, 18 miles northeast of Shawmut. She also taught one-room schools at Allendale, near Laurel, and Pineview, northeast of Shepherd. It was while teaching at Pineview she met Earling Haaland. They were married on June 9, 1945, at the American Lutheran Church in Billings.

Katherine was always a gracious and welcoming host to visitors; quickly getting the coffee pot on and some snacks ready. She loved all of her family very much and will be lovingly remembered by many. She felt so richly blessed, as are we for having felt her love for us. Visitation will be noon to 9 p.m., Friday at Smith Downtown Chapel, and one hour before service at the church. Services will be held on Saturday, July 26, at 2 p.m. at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Shepherd. Interment will be in the Shepherd Cemetery.

We ask that memorials be directed to Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Shepherd and to St. John’s Lutheran Ministries, Billings. Charles Paul Springer Charles Paul Springer was born in Sewickley, Pa., on Aug. 27, 1937. He lived in Leetsdale, Pa., until he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps after high school graduation. Following his honorable discharge from the Marines, he attended Montana State College (now University) in Bozeman where he had been recruited to play football for the Bobcats. It was at Bozeman he met Carol Christison, whom he married in 1962. From that marriage came the two children whom he loved and was immensely proud of, Trenne Michelle and John Kenneth. Following his graduation from MSC, Chuck was employed in the field of education serving as a physical education teacher, coach — and after obtaining his master’s degree from Eastern Montana College — high school guidance counselor. He also served for many years as the athletic trainer at EMC. Chuck loved participating in anything athletic or having to do with outdoors. He enjoyed many sports, swimming, horseback riding and trips to the mountains, and shared that love with family. After his divorce, he went home to Pennsylvania to work as a Youth Advocate and later an Elder Advocate in the Allegheny County Court System until his retirement. Chuck then returned to the place he loved — Montana — to live in Billings until his death on July 16, 2014. He is survived by his daughter, Trenne Fields (David) of Nerstrand, Minn.; three grandchildren whom he adored, Jordan, Mason and Kennan Fields; his son, John Kenneth of Austin, Texas; his brother, Herbert Springer, and his sister Mary Lou Davidson, both of Pennsylvania; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Chuck was an ardent Bobcat and Pittsburgh Steeler fan, a ferocious pinochle player, and admirer of Montana’s beautiful outdoors. He loved his family and cherished spending time with his kids and grandkids. He was loved and will be missed terribly. A funeral mass will take place at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29, at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Billings. Dr. Avery L.
