Nora Zeiger passed away peacefully in her home on January 23, 2026. She is now reunited with the love of her life Terry Bud forever hunting bears and enjoying each other’s company.

Nora Irene (Dalby) Zeiger was born in Glasgow, Montana on October 18, 1944, to Emil Dalby and Almeda “Alma” Elizabeth (Frederick) Dalby. She was the youngest of eight children.

Nora grew up and attended school in Glasgow through the 8th grade. Nora took care of her parents who lived in a house where her garage currently stands until she married Terry Bud Zeiger in 1964 at the age of 20.

Terry and Nora were blessed with three children Danny Mike, Cindy Lou, and Carol Ann. Terry and Nora spent their lives working and raising fur east of Glasgow until their retirement in 2012, where they relocated back to town to the neighborhood in which they both grew up.

Those who knew Nora knew her to be hard working, kind, and fun loving. She loved her grandchildren, her siblings and their families, collecting bears, Bingo, and camping. You could find Nora playing Bingo with her siblings at Nemont Manor and the Senior Citizens’ Center. Nora gained great pleasure “treating” those she loved with candy, food or trinkets. She was thoughtful and always thinking of others. She enjoyed spending time outdoors camping and bear hunting with Terry. At the center of her heart were her grandchildren who, in case you didn’t know, were all perfect and could do no wrong. Nora will be best known for her silly chuckle-laugh which shook her entire body and made those around her smile.

Nora is survived by her three children: Danny Mike (Shantel) Zeiger, Cindy Lou (Dan) Vegge all of Glasgow and Carol Ann (Robert) Stingley of Riverton, Wyoming; five grandchildren: Luke Zeiger, Rachael (Justin) Pattison, and DeAnna Brown (Richard Trathen) all of Glasgow, Trystan (Taryn) Whiteplume of Laramie, Wyoming, and Brady Stingley of Riverton, Wyoming; three great-granddaughters: AryNne Brown of Brownsboro, Texas, Abby Trathen, Riley Trathen and Mia Pattison all of Glasgow, and a long awaited great-grandson Baby Pattison arriving in the spring; her siblings Cora Canen and John Dalby of Glasgow as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Jody Lynn Budde, a beautiful and loving wife and mom, passed away January 17, 2026. Jody was born on January 25, 1949, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Jack and June Blair.

She was raised in Michigan along with her younger sisters, Robin Blair, Jackie (Mike) Sayfie, and Becky (Don) Miller. Jody loved to spend time with her grandma and grandpa Schonwald at the cottage in Grand Haven, Lake Michigan.

Jody graduated from Ottawa Hills high school, graduating in 1969 and went on to attend Central Michigan University and earned her teaching degree. During this time, she met her husband, Thomas K. Budde. Jody helped put Tom through dental school at University of Michigan by teaching at Lincoln Developmental School for Kids with Special Needs. Once Tom graduated from dental school, they took the leap and moved west to Livingston, Montana to enjoy the mountains and outdoors.

Some of Jody’s best memories were made on the ranch she and Tom owned in Paradise Valley, Montana. She was proud of the acre vegetable garden she had on the ranch and continued to garden throughout her life, always having the most beautiful flower gardens. Jody enjoyed having furry pets and loved many dogs and cats throughout her life. Jody was a lifelong fitness buff and the fastest walker. Anyone that knew her knew it was hard to keep up with her! She was a great cook and loved trying new and healthy recipes that she collected. Jody had an eye for decorating with a mix of her vintage collections and American West artwork making her homes cozy and welcoming. Her Paradise Valley home was even featured in Country Living magazine. Tom and Jody lived in various Montana communities including Livingston, Bozeman, Wolf Point, Lewistown, Billings, and Glasgow.

Jody’s happiest moments were when she was with her family, dogs, and kitties. She adored her two children and their spouses and four grandchildren. She was a loving mom to Brooke (Budde) Buchanan (Todd) of Red Lodge, Montana and Ryan (Cara) Budde of Glasgow, Montana. Her grandchildren, Thomas and Meredith Buchanan and Ava and Jaxon Budde were the light of her life. Jody is also survived by her brother-in-law, Jim (Karen) Budde and sister-in-law Jane (Doug) Hall.
Jody will be deeply missed but our memories with her will live with us forever.

A celebration of life will be held with close family later this summer.

Darwin Gene Laverne Johnson, 82, of Hinsdale, Montana, passed away on January 13, 2026, in Lewistown, Montana.

Born on June 5, 1943, in Glasgow, Montana, to Ruth and Lester Johnson, Darwin grew up splitting his time between school in Hinsdale and working on the family farm and ranch north of town. Those early years instilled in him a strong work ethic, ties of brotherly love, and an appreciation for the simple joys of rural Montana life.
As a student, Darwin excelled in mathematics and lettered in basketball and football. After graduating as salutatorian of his class from Hinsdale High School in 1961, Darwin went on to complete two years of training in electronic engineering at Weltech College in Salt Lake City, Utah, before enlisting in the United States Navy in 1964.

In 1967, while stationed at Lakehurst, New Jersey, for the commissioning of the USS Camden, he met a fashionable and vivacious young woman named Sandy. She captured his heart, and just seven months later they were married - beginning a loving partnership that would last 49 cherished years.

Darwin’s naval service took the young couple to Bremerton, Washington, and Long Beach, California. In 1968, Darwin contemplated accepting an offer of employment with the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) but ultimately chose to return to his Montana roots. There, he and Sandy built a life together, raising wheat, cattle, and their two children, Matthew and Paige. The Johnsons made their home on “Happy Flats” just east of Hinsdale; over the decades, they steadily expanded their acreage to include neighboring farm properties in the Genevieve area.

Always willing to give back to the community that shaped him, Darwin served as a board member for Hinsdale Schools, the Farmers Union, the North Valley Grazing District and the Farmers Elevator. He was also an active member - and former commander - of the Willie L. Nelson Post #45 of the American Legion.

He will be remembered for his distinctive smile, easygoing personality, and the quiet strength he brought to everyday tasks. Darwin modeled kindness, patience, faithfulness, and love, not only in soft-spoken words, but in the way he lived his life, especially toward his family and friends. He valued family, hard work, and quiet contentment.

Darwin is now reunited with his beloved Sandy in heaven, in the presence of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ruth and Lester Johnson, and his cherished wife, Sandy. He is survived by his children, Matthew (Sonja) Johnson and Paige (Jason) Miller; his brothers, Dennis (Annette) Johnson and Donald Johnson; his grandchildren, Chaz (Venus) Johnson, Brett Johnson, and Gabe Miller; great-granddaughter Rayne Miller; and many extended family members and friends who were blessed by his gentle spirit.

Darwin's legacy lives on in the land he loved and the family he cherished.

A visitation will be held at the American Legion in Hinsdale on the evening of Friday, January 23, 2026, from 3 - 6p.m. A celebration of life will follow on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 11:00a.m., with interment at the Hillview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Hinsdale American Legion

After 91 years, Larry Cote went peacefully to Heaven on January 7, 2026.

Lawrence William Cote was born December 30, 1934, to a big and loving family in Bottineau, North Dakota. He left school early to move to Phoenix, AZ but after ten long months of milking cows, he returned to graduate with his high school class at The Academy of Willow City, North Dakota. He moved to Williston, North Dakota and had a short stint boxing at the State Line Night Club. At 21, he met the love of his life Betty Lou Miller. He managed to snag her with the help of his 1950s Ford Victoria. They married and had five kids. They raised their family in Glasgow, Montana. Larry worked for Burlington-Northern Railroad—constantly on-call, unloading trains, moving up to conductor, and riding the rails. A lifetime Democrat and a strong proponent of labor rights, Larry worked as a union rep for the railroad. Larry also put his heart into owning and managing the LaCote Apartments. In the 1970s, Larry realized his dream of building a cabin at the Pines. The cabin was a place of countless family memories and endless hours of fishing.

After retirement, Larry and Betty spent many years traveling to Yuma, Arizona for the winter months, enjoying all their friends in their motorhome park. Larry spent much of his time involved with local communities. He was very involved with the building of the original little league playing fields. He was on the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital Board of Directors for 8 years. Larry was most proud of raising funds to ensure the clubhouse at Sunnyside had picture windows to enjoy excellent views after golfing. He grew the best cucumbers, tomatoes and horseradish that would burn your nose hairs. Larry spent the last year of his life in memory care at Valley View Home, creating friendships and wreaking havoc. He was described as feisty but also as love.

A battle with pneumonia sent Larry on to meet his son, Tom Cote; his parents, Edna and Paul; and five of his ten siblings (Vic Cote, Cecilia “Shorty” Dolezal, Swede Cote, Aimee Cote, Lorraine Gottbreth).

He will be loved and celebrated by his friends and remaining family: Betty Cote of Glasgow, MT; Rick Cote of Havre, MT (wife Stefani and children Lacey Erickson [husband Ryan, Alison, Rosalee] and Kristopher Cote [wife Bri, Lowen, Nora]), Shelly Cote of Venice Beach, CA (husband Kent Heeringa); Lori Miller of Billings, MT (husband, Kevin and children Tessa Savell [husband Brenon, Muriel and Luther], Chelsey Leonhardt [husband Scott, Addyson, Greyson], Hayley Botnen, and Paxton Miller); Kathy Cote of Fort Collins, CO (son Garrett Eakman); and Tom’s widow, Karen Cote-Tande of Scobey, MT (children Todd Tryan [wife Jamie, Theodore, Elizabeth, and Samantha], Casey Cote [wife Jamie, Makayla, Liv, Nox, and Cruz], and Macinzie Owen [husband Dustyn, Ramzie]).

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Raphael Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to St. Raphael’s Church, Glasgow or the local organization of your choice in Larry’s name. Online condolences may be left at bellmortuarymt.com.
