December 5, 1955 – October 17, 2026

Gloria “Jeannie” Juneau, age 70, of Browning, Montana, passed away on October 17, 2026, in Browning, Montana. Her passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

Born on December 5, 1955, in Browning, Montana, Jeannie was the daughter of Merian and Calvin Juneau. She was raised in Browning, where she developed the values, strength, and dedication that would guide her throughout her life. She later graduated from Flandreau, South Dakota, and continued her education, earning degrees in automotive mechanics and building trades, as well as a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies.

Jeannie dedicated 27 years of service to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), working in the Probate Department. Through her years of commitment and hard work, she contributed to serving her community and the families who depended on her work. After a long and dedicated career, she retired in 2024, leaving behind a legacy of service and perseverance.

Outside of her professional life, Jeannie found happiness in the things she loved most. She enjoyed beading, sewing, spending time at the lake, and cooking. Above all, she cherished being surrounded by her family. Whether sharing a meal, enjoying time together, or working on her crafts, Jeannie treasured the simple moments that brought loved ones close. Her love for her family was an important part of who she was, and the memories made with her will continue to be held dear.

Jeannie was preceded in death by her beloved son, Eric Juneau; her parents, Calvin and Merian Juneau; and her paternal and maternal grandparents.

She leaves behind her loving children: Rose Ann Juneau (Darrell Hall); Michael Lewis Juneau (Stephanie Augare); Philip Juneau (Kayla Burns); Hannah St. Goddard (Dustin Louis); Natalie St. Goddard (Tommy Running Rabbit); Makayla Juneau; Tucker Juneau; Ty Juneau; Lily Juneau; and her other beloved children and family members.

Her greatest legacy lives on through her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who brought her joy and gave her countless reasons to smile. Among her great-grandchildren are Kenny Bostwick III, Kayson After Buffalo, Layla and Charlo Juneau. Along with grandchildren, Shania Augare, Kaidence Augare, Eric Juneao Jr who will carry her love and memory forward.

Jeannie is also survived by her brothers and sisters,Merlin Juneau (Mitzy), Emmette Juneau, Patty Juneau, Lydia Wells (Leo Wells Sr.), and Karl Juneau (Carol), along with extended family members, relatives, and friends who will forever cherish her memory.

Though Jeannie's passing brings sorrow, her life leaves behind a lasting reminder of the importance of family, dedication, and the love found in everyday moments. Her hands, which spent years creating through beading and sewing, her meals shared with loved ones, and the memories made together will remain a part of the legacy she leaves behind.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her. May her family find comfort in the memories they shared, strength in one another, and peace in knowing that her love will continue through the generations she leaves behind.

Barbara J. Fangman April 1, 1942 – September 29, 2026

Barbara J. Fangman, 84, of Polson, Montana, passed away peacefully in her sleep—just as she had always hoped—on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Born on April 1, 1942, at St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo, Ohio, to John Hillabrand and Jeanne O'Kelly, Barbara lived a vibrant life defined by her radiant positivity and unwavering faith.

A persistent, loving, and caring 90-pound, 4'11" fireball, Barbara was the supreme optimist. She constantly encouraged those around her to look for the bright side, let go of negativity, and find the good in everyone. She had a unique gift for seeing true beauty in others, always offering the exact compliment about a smile or a kind heart that someone needed to hear to feel uplifted. She carried a deep love for her children, keeping connected with them wherever her life's journey took her, and they loved her dearly in return. Yet, above all else, she was defined by her profound, unapologetic love for God and Jesus.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Anna Schinke. Her memory lives on with her husband, George Neal, whom she joyfully married on September 28, 2026; her sister, Mary Hillabrand; and her beloved children: Tyler (Brenda) Aubry, Miles (Dawn) Mewhort, Dawson Fangman, and Allison Fangman.

Barbara's final wish was for her loved ones not to grieve for too long, asking them to find comfort in knowing she is free from pain and is now "dancing with Jesus!"

At this time, no formal services will be held. Her children are creating a memorial video to celebrate her beautiful life, and friends and family are invited to share their favorite photos of Barb by emailing tyler.aubry+[email protected].

Obituary: Marilyn Francis Gray (1946–2026)
Marilyn Francis Gray, age 80, passed away peacefully on October 4, 2026, in Missoula, Montana. She was born on June 14, 1946, in Browning, Montana, to Ernest J. Gray and Josie McKay Gray, and was raised within the strong cultural traditions and family ties of the Blackfeet Nation.
Marilyn grew up surrounded by her siblings and the enduring values of her parents. She carried those values throughout her life — resilience, independence, humor, and a deep devotion to family. She was preceded in death by her sister Doreen Yvonne Huffer, and her brothers Harold Ernest Long Standing Bear Chief, Gerald John Gray, Sr., Darryl Monroe Gray, and Joseph Thomas McKay.
In 1966, Marilyn married Joseph Campagna Jr. of South Plainfield, New Jersey. Joseph served in the United States Air Force, and together they lived in several places around the world, including Merced, California; Crete, Greece; Izmir, Turkey; Grand Forks, North Dakota; and Great Falls, Montana, before Marilyn ultimately made Missoula her home. Though Marilyn and Joseph later divorced, they remained in close contact throughout their lives, united by the love and responsibility they shared for their children: Paola, Julia, Mark, and Carman.
Marilyn was a proud Catholic whose faith shaped her life in profound ways. She traveled on religious pilgrimages to sacred sites around the world — including Ephesus in Turkey and Jerusalem, where she visited many holy places that held deep meaning for her. Her devotion was steady, sincere, and central to her identity.
Throughout her life, Marilyn worked in a variety of administrative roles. She served in administration for the Native American Services Agency in Missoula and spent time working for DM Construction, her brother Darryl’s company. She also worked for the Max Baucus political campaign and volunteered at her local Catholic church as a CCD teacher and lectern.
Marilyn’s life reflected strength, loyalty, and a quiet but unmistakable presence. She valued simplicity, honesty, and the bonds that connect generations. Her children and grandchildren will remember her for her stories, her humor, her determination, and the fierce love she held for her family.
A private family service will be held during North American Indian Days 2027, with gatherings in Glacier National Park and Browning, honoring Marilyn’s life in the places that shaped her and the traditions she cherished.
