Helyne Anderson Trimble

Helyne Anderson Trimble went to be with the Lord Monday, June 27, 2005.

Helyne was born Dec. 5, 1918 in Livingston, Mont. She was the daughter of Oscar and Ella Anderson of Hinsdale and the Saco area.

She grew up on a ranch and lived there through her teen years. She then married George "Shorty" Trimble of Roy, Mont. During their 50 years of marriage they lived in Billings and in 1982 moved to Bigfork on Flathead Lake.

Helyne thoroughly enjoyed talking with people and always had a neat story to tell. She always remembered your face and name. Playing the organ and piano was a special talent of hers. She was a gifted hostess and treated her guests like kings and queens—a servant to all. Helyne had an appreciation for flowers and liked to play games with her family and loved ones.

She was preceded in death by her husband and is survived by her daughter Mary Ann and her son-in-law Ray Kunkel; grandchildren, Perry, Cal (Tammy) and Heather (Kevin) Graf; five great grandchildren, Jasmine, Samuel, Chanel, Tori and Shan whom she really loved.

Graveside services will be 11:30 a.m., Thursday at the Laurel Cemetery off Laurel Airport Road.

Memorials may be made to Big Sky Hospice, P.O. Box 35033, Billings, MT 59107.
