Lucille Mae Heeb Bolender, 76, died June 7, 2006, in her Bozeman home, surrounded by family.
Lucille was born on May 13, 1930, to Lauren and Susie (Norman) Heeb in Bozeman. At 16, she chose to begin walking with God in faith and truth. She graduated from Gallatin County High School in Bozeman, and worked at Heeb Brothers' Food Store and Montana Music before marrying Art Robinson in 1950. She raised their three children in Manhattan while working at L&F Grocery Store. Her children fondly remember their many camping trips into the mountains of Montana and Yellowstone. For years, Lucille taught accordion and piano lessons to students across the Gallatin Valley, for a time conducting an accordion band of some 15 members. She began working at Montana State University in 1979, where she met Jack Bolender, whom she married in 1981. After she retired, they traveled all over Western America, when not at home gardening, turning their yard into a haven of fruit trees and flowers.
Lucille was preceded in death by both her parents and her sister, Lorraine Kitto of Toston.
She is survived by her loving husband, Jack Bolender; children whom she doted on all her life: son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Kathleen (Ott) Robinson and their son, Dayne, of Butte; daughter, Cynde Lokken of Connell, Wash., and her son, Keith, of Spokane, Wash.; daughter, Debbie Chavez of Fallbrook, Calif., and her children, Zane, Zach and Zalena; stepdaughter, Tonya Ormsby of Vienna, Va., her husband, Ken, and children, Nathan and Meagan; brother-in-law, Ken Kitto and his wife, Ruth, of Apache Junction, Ariz.; sister-in-law, Pat MacRostie of La Mesa, Calif.; aunts, cousins, and many nieces and nephews, who knew her as Aunt Cille. Many still have sweaters and afghans she knitted especially for them.
She will be remembered for her cheerfulness and kindness, beautiful high tenor voice, and her love for her family and the truth of God, which she always kept first in her heart.
Visitation with the family is from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday in Dokken-Nelson Sunset Chapel in Bozeman. Services will be held at at 1:30 p.m. Monday in Dokken-Nelson Sunset Chapel. Graveside services will follow at Meadow View Cemetery, south of Manhattan. Beginning at 4 p.m., a finger food potluck will be held in Bozeman Senior Center, 807 N. Tracy.
Memorials: Bozeman Deaconess Hospice, 931 Highland Blvd. Ste. 3200, Bozeman, MT 59715.
