What a wonderful storied life she lived & so
world traveled she was & very well documented here.
Sid , you , her brother I was privileged to work for you as my supervisor in Montana’s Ag Statistical Service during my employ there in 80’s. As a phone survey enumerator & part-time radio report administer of Agricultural releases to radio stations across the state we teamed well together under your professional leadership & during senior career years there. Under your lead, Sid, our team increased Mt farm survey completion rates sometimes going from 33% to 89%!
Later visiting with your sister, Lois at Lutheran events we shared and touted our team’s successes working with her big brother much to her delight. And with her saying she ” had nothing but smart people in the family that could count” and with a grin she added : “especially livestock and predators.”
She will be surely be missed by all but will be heartly greeted by family already gone on to the great beyond.
May you carry best of memories in your 💕hearts forever knowing additionally some of us still use your Lois’ and your Mary Ann’s recipes gifted us thru the years & may all RiP.
Blessings all,
Carol Stone Carlson

Ps: for Sid you may remember lotsa laughs were had @ Mt.Ag offices over a DJ at a rural Eastern Mt radio station.
When we called him and asked if he was busy or could he please take our weekly Ag report recording to air later he famously responded always:
“Well, I hesitate to tell you but I’m busier than a ten tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs but , yes mam, I can take your call.”

After repeated phone visits we knew his jungle by heart!
(Ha…Some rural fellows even count cat’s tails!)
