On Wednesday, April 5, 2006, Tiny Bouchee passed away peacefully after lunch at the Evergreen Livingston Health and Rehabilitation Center. She was 84 years old, with death being the result of old age and other medical issues, she tolerated much of her life.
Carolyn was born in Livingston on Oct. 15, 1921. She was the middle daughter of Deborah A. and Edwin V. Cameron. Her father ranched east of town and ran the Combination Bar. Mrs. Cameron was a housewife and worked as a telephone operator for the Northern Pacific after Ed's death. Tiny's oldest sister, Frances Marie Taylor, lives in Missoula. Her youngest sister, Edna Louise (Tudie) Pellegren Rinard, preceded her in death.
The family lived on a small ranch on the Shields River and the Convict Grade Road. Tiny went to grade school at Upper Mission and to Park County High School until her junior year, when she married William L. Bouchee. He passed away on Sept. 1, 1988. They were married Nov. 15, 1938, in the Baptist Church in Livingston.
Carolyn and Bill had three children, Sandra K. Orser of Gardiner, William L. Bouchee, Jr. of Missoula and Carol Lynn (Corky) Bouchee, who drowned on July 3 1955, in an irrigation ditch off Mill Creek. The drowning was a very tragic event for the family. Sandy has three sons, Shawn (Joy) Orser, residing in Mongolia, and Pryor (Yulia) Orser and Travis Orser, who live in Colorado. Shawn has two children, Virginia and Calvin. Bill and Phyllis have two sons, Bob (Tina) Bouchee and Mike (Jessica) Bouchee. Both live in Missoula. Bob has two daughters, Kyla and Kennedi. Mike has one son, Alec. She is also survived by her number two son, Gary Orser, living on Trail Creek.
Mom had many special friends she asked us to mention and they are/were: Carolyn Aiverson, Katie Poeschel, Elsie Kelley, Bernice Kelley, Anne Keys, Helen Logan, Sue Austin, Margaret Egeland, Lela Egeland, Ma Sumner, Grace Williamson, Nell Young, and Alice Wiltgen and Pauline Richardson, cousins. She was very fond of all of them and loved their company.
Mom was a housewife all of her married life and much more. She kept the books for Bill in the Park Welding business. He would work all day, keep everything in his head and come in the house for supper and tell her everything he did that day. She would write all the information in the receivable book to extend and bill at the end of the month. Pa couldn't have done it without her; he depended on her a lot, and she was very good with numbers. While Bill was working all the time, Mom mowed the lawn, took care of the house and raised large gardens and canned the produce. She usually conversed and coffeed every day with her good neighbors. Her chocolate cake was legendary and nearly made her famous for its quality. Ken Spalding-would drop in most days after he completed his mail route and have coffee and chocolate cake with the folks. We figured she made one or two sour cream chocolate cakes per week. Aside from keeping house and cooking, Mom liked to play cards, tell an occasional joke and was flip with comments and answers. She was aggressive at bidding in any card game and liked to win. Her jokes were short and surprised everyone. Being outspoken, you knew where you were with her - she held nothing back. The health care providers appreciated her wit and humor the later part of her life.
She enjoyed fishing and camping outings all her life. It was most fun for her to be with the folks' special friends in the Crazy Mountains over the weekends and holidays. She liked having her children and grandchildren along for the fun of cards, visiting, cooking and eating. Mom and Dad liked to go out on the weekends to eat and dance. They were often seen at The Cave, Melody Supper Club, Reno and county dances over the years. Most times, her sister Frances and brother-in-law Bob Taylor were together with the folks enjoying the good music. They loved to listen and dance to the cool sounds of a childhood friend Mattie Clayton.
In spite of Mom's health issues all of her life, many operations and lots of medicine, she never complained. Right to the end, she endured and remained calm and collected at what seemed to be a lonely end to her life. She outlasted many of her friends and family. When asked about moving, she said she never wanted to leave the family and friends in Livingston. To our knowledge, Mom never belonged to any organization. She enjoyed her neighbors and family. There was the coffee and tea klatches, on a daily basis, crocheting and knitting, picnics and dinner exchanges and always cake or a hot meal for the acknowledgement of a death in a family.
Mom, we will miss you and hope heaven finds you at peace. You had a long and good life with family and many friends. We will try to accommodate your wishes with a family remembrance function the night before the memorial service and a luncheon afterward.
