They lived at the motel for over 30 years and worked very hard to make it into the successful business it became. They added on to the motel so that it had triple the number of rooms it had when they bought it and triple the amount of work.

In 1979, Mom and Dad moved into town where they took over the operation of the Star Lodge Motel which they then purchased in 1980. Mom and Dad were also 4-H leaders for many years. What adventures we had and we met so many amazing and wonderful people. We drove in our crew cab truck with the big overhead storage rack, hauling our horses around the state and to many other states. In the summer of 1964, Dad’s job with Great Northern Railroad transferred him to Glasgow so they moved their family to the home out on Skylark Road where they had a huge garden and raised a multitude of animals.ĭuring the summers while us kids were growing up, the whole family traveled to O-Mok-Sees. Mom and Dad welcomed all six of their kids while living in Havre: Marie, James, FayeAnn, Paula (who died at birth), Ronald, and Richard. They made their home in Havre, Montana where Dad worked outside the home and Mom opted to stay home and take care of the kids and the household. Mom married Dad, William “Bill” Fewer on September 1, 1956. The Dodson School Superintendent always told her that she wasn’t valedictorian because she was so smart it was just that the rest of the class was so dumb! She attended school in Dodson, Montana, graduating in 1957 at the head of her class. A private graveside service will be held at a later date.Īlthough her birth certificate said April 29, Mom always claimed that she was born on April 27, 1939, to Lloyd and Mary (Lemp) Tribby. Shirley A Fewer, 84, passed away during the early morning hours of Thursday, April 27, 2023, at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow, Montana.
