Lenoria F. Ulrich left her home here on earth to live with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on July 30, 2013. Lenoria, daughter of David and Emma Reule Gebhardt was born November 21, 1916 at her parents home on the Homestead near Marsh, Mt.
She attended the Dewald School from first grade through eighth grade. School was about three miles from her home, so she walked daily except in inclement weather. She graduated from Mildred High School in 1936. Growing up, Lenoria and her two sisters would help their dad in the fields. She did some housekeeping as well.
On May 25, 1937, Lenoria married Gottlieb Ulrich in Dawson County. To this union were born two children, Ervin Lee and Lily Mae. They farmed and raised Registered Hereford cattle on the homestead that had belonged to Gottlieb’s dad until Gottlieb passed away in 1984. They were active members in the Evangelical church in Fallon. Lenoria was on the Council on Aging Board for a number of years. She was an active member in the Cabin Creek Homemakers club for 60 years. In 1994, Lenoria was named Prairie County Extension outstanding Homemaker of the year. She volunteered at the Prairie County Museum in Terry.
Her hobbies were plastic canvas crafts and quilting. She played the piano for her own pleasure. Lenoria loved to travel, including a large area of the Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia and New Zealand all with either friends or family. In 2002, Lenoria moved to Great Falls to be near her daughter and family. She moved to Bee Hive Assisted Living in 2012 where she resided until her death.
Surviving is her daughter, Lily (Charles) Allen, grandson, Bryan Allen, of Missoula, and sister, Erma Braun of Columbus, Mt. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Gottlieb, son, Ervin Lee, grandson, Kirk (Randy) Allen, sister, Mary Twitchell and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Dear Family and Friends of Lenoria Ulrich – Please continue to treasure the good memories and pictures of your Mrs. Ulrich. Also be comforted by Bible promises at this difficult time. Be assured that it was not a part of the Creator’s purpose that people suffer and die. Everything made by God was “very good” (Genesis 1:31) which would have allowed the opportunity to live without the prospect of dying. Death was introduced by Adam’s disobedience (Romans 5:12). We are promised in the Bible that there will soon come a time when no one will be sick (Isaiah 33:24), the dead will be resurrected (John 5:28, 29) and pain and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4). The Paradise that was originally promised for the earth in the Garden of Eden will restore perfect conditions intended by God. Please continue to take in Bible knowledge that gives us comfort and hope (John 17:3).
