22, 2019 Patricia Ann, as she was known, was born December 15, 1928, the third child to George and Evelyn Christensen in Ririe, Idaho. The revela- tion that her mother had carried her while grieving the loss of her infant son meant something to Patty. She once said Mom, how sad she must have been to lose him, and then I was born, a But the Chris- tensen family grew quickly after that, and at one time Evelyn, having had back-to-back sets of twins, had five kids under the age of three. This required that Patty and her older sister, Doris, be responsible at a very young age. They were each assigned a twin to care for, and this set the stage for a lifelong love of babies for Patty.

She was never more at ease than when caring for a baby; they loved her, and knew she loved them. She enjoyed her (as she called them.) She loved life on the ranch, and life in a large family. Her seven sib- lings were always important to her, and they remained close throughout her life. Their death when she was seventeen would leave challenges for their mother, and again, responsibilities that required maturity be- yond years. After high school graduation, she attended a busi- ness college, and worked until she married Max Odell Miller, February 6, 1950.

After a brief time in Idaho Falls, they moved to Divide, Montana, where she was the Post Master, and Odell worked on the railroad, in the mine, and on his cattle ranch. In 1957, they moved to a ranch south of Alder, Montana. This would begin her second love affair with the land and with ranch life. Memories of her are with roses in her cheeks and a ra- diant smile as she carries in an armload of firewood, the scent of bread baking or her famous apple pie. She was a lifetime active member of Saint Par- ish.

When college expenses for her kids loomed on the horizon, Mom went to work in the office in Virginia City. She would run for and be elected County Treasurer twice. Patty was generous in spirit, always ready with a smile to brighten the moment, give an en- couraging word, and loved nothing more than a good laugh. She was forever gracious to those in need. Patty and Odell were unselfish lovers of children, especially those in hardship within their own family and community.

To this day, the love that flows from her nieces and nephews, and from the community is testimony of that. Their home was always open to any child whose family was undergoing change. They often had others at their table and in their lives. It seem unusual to us, because Mom and Dad included them as part of the family, and so they were. Her nephew, Coy Brown III, considers as his mom she took him in immediately when her sister, Donna, passed.

When Mom became aware that was in her she said, want you to know that had a good life. All I ever wanted to do was have a family, and live on a ranch, and done that. I have loved my life, and I want you to know that loved sharing it with She leaves a legacy of loved ones: her children, Julie (Dave) Maddison, Christine Miller, John (Karen) Miller, and Rob (Dena) Miller. Those who will remember her as are her thirteen grandchildren: Ryan (Dena), Justin (Patricia), Jeff (Alicia) and Patrick (Daniel) Mad- dison, Josie (Hickman) (Andy) Michel, Tanner (Audrey) Hickman, Amanda Hickman (Mitch), Greg Miller, Annie (Miller) (Geoff) Denise (Ben) Miller, Jeremy Miller, Jason Miller, and Meghann (Miller) (Thaddeus) Josephson. Those who will remember her as are her sixteen great-grandchildren, Kialar, Hazalin, James, Ethan, Jagger, Conner, Myli, Izzie, Casen, Ryker, Torrie, Stevie, Aurora, Timothy, Piper, and Maxen.

And in the final chapter, her circle of love grew to include those who knew her as the angels at Home Park Assisted Living. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for the loving care she experienced there. She traveled on in the early hours of November 22, 2019, just shy of her 91st birthday. Mom loved nothing more than gathering with friends and family, and sip- ping a beer. Lift one in her name, and celebrate the joy she brought to all of us.

We love you, Mom, we were so blessed to share this life with you. A Rosary and memory service will be held at and Mortuary, Sunday, December 1st at 7:00 p.m. The fu- neral Mass will be the following morning at 11:00 a.m., Saint Catholic Church, Laurin, Montana. In- terment will follow immediately at Cemetery, and the reception afterward will be held at the Alder Community Center. Patty embraced all of gifts, flowers included.
