Judith Mary Reinhardt peacefully passed away September 4, 2025. She was born to William and Ann Adler in Pittsburgh, PA and carried that accent with her proudly for the 80 years of her life.

In 1963 she married the love of her life, Bob Reinhardt Sr. and together they moved to Montana to continue the adventures they shared to the fullest. They shared a love of drag racing, dancing, their dogs, and raising their son. As this life passed along, she took great pride in watching her son carry on his father’s love of drag racing in his career and her granddaughter follow in her love of dogs in her veterinary career.

She worked as a sales associate, a bookkeeper for her husband’s business, and for a computer company. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the Rocky Mountain Irish Wolfhound Association.

She enjoyed playing cards with friends, attending her son’s football and baseball games and her husband’s softball games. Her yard was known well for the flowers and plants that she grew with the greenest of green thumbs. Her flowers won ribbons at the county fair and adorned many a table for those she shared them with. Once growing season ended, she excitedly pulled out her outdoor Halloween decorations soon to be followed by her Christmas decorations. Her yard was always filled with color and lights! She loved hearing the ooohs and aaahs as people walked or drove by to admire her yard no matter the season. Her creativity also showed through in her arts and crafts that she poured her heart into. She sold these online, at craft fairs, and to family and friends. Her creativity was endless along with her sassy sense of humor.

Her main hobby in life was showing her beloved Irish Wolfhounds. She traveled the USA and Canada with friends and dogs, winning many awards with her “Wolfies” in both breed and obedience. Along the way she gained lifelong friends and always had stories to tell of their adventures. While she loved her friends in “The Middle of Nowhere” Glasgow, in her later years, she moved to Colorado to be closer to her family. Here she found an amazing, assisted living facility and the last place she called home. She spent many hours laughing with not only her friends there but also those that cared for her. She came to deeply love this little community.

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Sue (Carolyn Powell) Reinhardt, her granddaughter and her husband, Alyx and Errick Tracy, her brothers Don and Ron and their families, as well as many family and friends across the country. She is preceded in death by her parents William and Ann, her beloved husband Bob, a brother Bill and a sister Lolly.

She would love you to dance the jitterbug, plant a flower in your garden, make a donation to an animal rescue, or give a dog a treat in her memory.

To share your memories and condolences, cards can be mailed to the family of Judy Reinhardt, P.O. Box 297, Keenesburg, CO 80643 and they will be forwarded.

In 1959, their son Carl “Brad” Green was born, in Glasgow, Montana Their daughter Judy Green was born in 1964 while the family was stationed in Riverside, California.

Alexzander James Leroy Strope
-06/03/2005 - 09/03/2025-
Age: 20 years young

Alexzander James Leroy Strope passed away tragically on September 3, 2025, in Glasgow, Montana. Alex was born June 3, 2005, to Jamie Strope and Roy Stope joining his sibling, Danny.

Alex had tons of nicknames that he would use and go by. He was born on the lunch hour in Forrest City, Arkansas. During the school year, he and his sibling would be here in Glasgow, with their parents. As summer approached, their aunt “Jen Jen” would come and pick them up and bring them back to their birthplace and go on plenty of adventures! The Strope family are based out of Glasgow and Forrest City but eventually found their way down to Louisiana and even Michigan. He attended Glasgow High School, but unfortunately did not graduate, but that most certainly did not stop him from doing what he needed to do! After he turned 18, he spent a few months in North Dakota working for the oil fields, like his father.

James loved to go for drives and play music very loudly. But he also loved playing video games and yelling at the screen! He was always a happy boy, and as he grew up, he became an “obnoxious small town teenage boy.” He loved hunting, trains, diesel engines, being silly, and even hanging out with his sibling (as much as he would deny it.)

Alex just started a new job working for a farmer that he was excited about. Alex spent most of his days riding dirt bikes with friends, tinkering on vehicle after vehicle, and having a good time with his friends and family.

Alex was a bright young man with a full life ahead of him. Alex is survived by his parents, Jamie and Roy Strope, sibling Daniel Treat, Aunt Jennifer Treat, Britney Wiseman (known as his “second mom”), cousins Austin, Lathan, and Cheyenne Staggs of Arkansas, and countless other aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Roy Strope SR, Darla Morlock, Michealene Treat, James Treat, and, of course, most recently his aunt Troy Alexzandria Strope.

In Loving Memory of Michael “Mikey” Scott Helmick-Lindstrom

Michael Scott Helmick came into this world on June 10th, 1996, in Great Falls, Montana, with a spirit that was anything but ordinary. From the beginning, he was brilliant, unique, and deeply felt—a soul who seemed to live louder, laugh harder, and love deeper than most.

Mikey was the third born child to his mother, Kristi Helmick, who raised him alongside his adoring sisters, Jennifer and Michelle. Later, he was blessed with a man he would proudly call “Dad,” Richard Helmick. His childhood carried him through Nevada and California before the family returned to Kristi’s hometown of Glasgow, Montana. It was there, during his middle and high school years, that he formed lifelong friendships that never loosened their hold, no matter where he wandered.

Though life took him many places, Missoula was the place he felt most at home. It’s where his laugh echoed the loudest, where his smile shone brightest, and where he built a chosen family of friends who loved him fiercely. Mikey never met a stranger—he could bend your ear with a story, lend his own with empathy, and light up a room without even noticing. The photos now shared in his memory capture exactly who he was: a megawatt grin, a sparkle in his eyes, and a spirit impossible to forget.

Mikey felt everything deeply—the joy, the sorrow, the dreams, and the doubts. It was both his gift and his burden. He filled notebooks, napkins, and scraps of paper with raw, unapologetic poetry, inspired by his favorite poet, Charles Bukowski, yet always uniquely his own. His art was honest, unfiltered, and alive.

He dreamed endlessly. Most recently, he was dreaming of a food truck that doubled as a canvas for friends, poets, and artists alike. Stationing it at a local park or simply in someone's backyard, where everyone felt seen and celebrated. He lived for simple nights of friendship, skinny-dipping in the river, sleepovers to ward off loneliness or just an easy movie night. He believed in showing up for people—feeding them, encouraging them, reminding them of beauty wherever they could find it.

Mikey worked in the food industry most of his adult life, mastering the art of flavor and hospitality with the same passion he brought to everything he loved. He was a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, a football encyclopedia, and constantly unaware of the volume of his voice! He was a fierce believer in equality and justice. He leaned hard against crooked morals and stood up for people, always.

He loved deeply—his friends, his family, and his beloved cats who were truly like his children. His presence made us all better humans. He had a special bond with his two older sisters. They kept up with each other almost daily, always wrapping one another up in pride and gratefulness. To be loved by Mikey was to be seen, to be known, to be reminded that you mattered. And to love him in return was a gift beyond measure.

Mikey is survived by his mother, Kristi Helmick of Glasgow, MT; his bonus dad, Richard Helmick of Idaho; his sisters, Jennifer (Ray) of Idaho and Michelle (Daniel) of Glasgow, MT; and his nieces and nephews Liyla, Keeley, Deegan, Kaylaiha, Jailah, Jayce, Joyelle, and Dayvis. He also leaves behind countless friends who were family, especially Joe and Taylor, whose daughter, VyElle, he proudly served as Godfather.

He is preceded in death by his biological father, Michael (Mike) Lindstrom; his grandfather, Louis Schafer; grandmother, Jean Kallem; and nephew, Daynen Knight.

Michael Scott Helmick passed unexpectedly on a summer day, August 17th, 2025, in Missoula, Montana, at just 29 years old. His absence is heavy, but his love, his laughter, and his words will live on—in every story retold, every poem rediscovered, every smile he left behind.

Mikey was unapologetically himself. And that is how he will always be remembered.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, September 6th at the Kiwanis Campground, Shelter #1, in Fort Peck, MT. Friends and family are invited to bring a dish to share, stories to reminisce over, and a Mikey-inspired thrift store sweater to wear around a beautiful bonfire once the sun goes down.

A GoFundMe has been set up to offset the cost of cremation, travel for his family and to put
towards getting his poetry published, his biggest dream.

Please contact Briana Page for details or questions on the celebration of life, or the GoFundMe.

In her high school yearbook, it said of Nancy McPhee Lierow, that when she laughs the whole world laughs with her. Nancy was born April 22, 1940, to Shey and Rosie McPhee in Malta, Montana. She was a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother and a friend. In all of her relationships to so many people, she loved deeply, was totally devoted and laughed…a lot!! She had a strong faith and loved Jesus.

Nancy graduated in 1958 and moved to Seattle, Washington to work for Boeing. She loved life in the city and loved to party. She missed Montana though and moved back and got a job at a local café “slinging hash” as she used to say. In 1960, she met a guy from Park City, Montana who worked for the telephone company; he used to eat his meals in the café when he worked in Malta. He thought Nancy was pretty cute and asked her out for a beer when she got off work. The rest is history. Bill Lierow and Nancy McPhee got married on May 6, 1961. In June of 1962 they had their first daughter, Shelley, followed by Julie, Suzy, and Joe. This family of six moved to Glasgow in 1971, right after Joe was born after living in Lewistown previously. Nancy worked for several years selling and building ads at The Courier, followed by working at The Print Shop, but being “Mom” was her most important job. Bill passed away in 2012, and after a few more years, Nancy sold the house and moved to Billings. She loved her apartment and her new life there. She still loved to come back every summer to the cabin, which she and Bill lovingly built over many years, it still is a tranquil place for the family to gather and think of them. In 2023, because of some health issues, she moved to Washington with her daughter temporarily for medical care. Her goal was to get stronger to move back to Montana, her home. Sadly, she didn’t regain that strength and passed away on August 25, 2025, in Federal Way, Washington.

Nancy loved her family; they meant everything to her! She was close to her parents, her siblings, her in-laws, as well as her kids and grandkids. She found humor in almost everything and looked for the positive. She was easy to talk to, and she loved to laugh! She enjoyed playing games: whether board games, cards, dominoes, or online word games and was fiercely competitive. She loved sitting at her kitchen table looking out the window while enjoying a cup of coffee and some cookies…or a piece of pie…or a maple stick…or anything else that was sweet. She loved her sweets! When her doctor recently told her to eat ice cream for breakfast and after dinner, she happily obliged! She read the newspaper front to back, and when they went online, she did too. She could spend hours on her iPad or phone reading all kinds of articles, watching videos and looking at pictures on Facebook.

Nancy is survived by all four of her children: Shelley (Terry) Nakagomi of Federal Way, WA; Julie (Mark) Siverly of Glasgow, MT; Suzy (Jeff) Berglund of Midland, TX; and Joe (Amy) Lierow of Billings, MT. 13 grandchildren: Mike (Alice) Nakagomi, Sean (Nica) Nakagomi, Nathan Lierow, Luke, Shey and Naomi Siverly; Colton Berglund; and Meghan, Kyle, Kinsey, Zach, Kellen and Josie Lierow. Three great-grandchildren: Astrid and Sibyl Gordon (Siverly) and Kaito Nakagomi. Three sisters: Judy (Larry) Sowder, Linda (Eugene) Hanson and Colleen Matoon; brother Pat Gibbs; sister-in-law Diane Allen, brother-in-law Butch (Barb) Killion, nieces, nephews, and beloved cousins and friends.

Nancy joins husband Bill, her parents and grandchildren, Aubrey and Taylor Lierow and Jessie Berglund in heaven.
