Jacqueline Bement, age 81 of Lame Deer, Montana, passed away on Wednesday, December 24, 2003 at Saint Vincent Hospital in Billings, Montana, after a brief illness.

Jackie was born on October 28, 1922 in Miles City, Montana, the daughter of Clarence and Emma (Burns) Bement. She was raised and attended schools in Lame Deer and also attended high school at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Miles City. After her schooling, Jackie began working for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in Lame Deer. She worked for thirty years as the treasurer for the tribe. After her retirement as treasurer, Jackie began working as the payroll clerk for the Northern Cheyenne Housing Department, which she continued until the time of her death.

Jackie was a very caring and loving person, and was seldom seen without a smile on her face. She enjoyed watching rodeos, especially team roping and always anticipated calving season, wanting to see the first-born calf of the year. Jackie loved her family, and raised her granddaughter Bobbi Ann as her own.

Jackie is survived by her daughter, Alice Carlyne Wolf Black of Billings, MT, her granddaughter, Bobbi Ann Old Crow and great-granddaughter, Crystal Lynn Old Crow of Forsyth, MT, her sister, Camille Duffy of Billings, MT, her brother, Carl Bement of Lame Deer, MT, and several nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, two brothers; Jesse and Mickey Bement and a sister, Geraldine Bement.
