Mildred Jane "Dolly" Erwin

Mildred Jane “Dolly” Erwin, 80, was called home on April 23, 2026 in Billings, Montana.

Dolly was born May 1, 1945, to Joe and Verna (Stellflug) Isakson in Opheim, Montana. She was the youngest of six children. Dolly grew up in Opheim with her siblings: Raymond, Lorraine (Archambeault), Alvin, Marvin, and Clifford. She married Bennie Hallock in May 1962 and they had two children, Betty (Kevin) Lawrence and Kennie (Jetra) Hallock. They later divorced. She married Eddie Erwin in June 1973 and they had a son, Brian Ed (Tierra) Erwin. 

In 1973, she packed up the family and moved to Eddie’s new assignment at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. After he retired from the Air Force, they moved back to Glasgow.

Dolly worked at Gordon’s grocery store for many years; first in the meat department and then as a cashier. She enjoyed her grandkids and always wished they were closer. She loved her little dogs and spoiled them rotten.

Dolly was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Verna, her brothers: Ray, Alvin, Marvin, and Cliff. She is survived by son Brian (Tierra) Erwin of Williston, ND, son Kennie (Jetra) Hallock of Glendive, daughter Betty (Kevin) Lawrence of Billings; grandchildren: Samuel and Annika Erwin, Brodie and Josie Hallock, and Aaron Dowell, her sister Lorraine Archambeault, countless nieces, nephews, and her pups Hope and Charlie.
