In Memory Of

Linda Mae Gregg, age 72, of Colstrip

Linda Mae Gregg

 

Linda Gregg went to meet her best friend Bill on the evening of December 1, 2020, at the Rosebud Health Care Center in Forsyth, Montana after an arduous fight against the COVID-19 virus.

Linda was born in Glendive, Montana on May 1, 1948; the youngest of seven children between Edwin and Hertha Beyl.

Linda grew up and went to school in Glendive. She married Bill Gregg in 1967 moving around the state of Montana where they finally settled in Colstrip in 1975. During many adventures came three children which kept Linda busy chasing them from activity to activity. Linda was an active member of the Women of the Moose and enjoyed crafting, ceramics, baking, gardening, making porcelain dolls, sewing, and numerous more hobbies.  Linda was an amazing cook and she loved family gatherings. Linda also love spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved to travel and see new places. But nothing could compare to going back to Glendive and spending time on the farm with her sister Bev and brother-in-law Don Buxbaum.

She is survived by daughters Loni (Charles) Hartman of Colstrip MT, Dicki (Mike) Peterson of Colstrip, MT, and son Bobby (Stephanie) Gregg of Moses Lake, Washington; grandchildren Brett (Allie) Hartman of Roseville, CA, Charli Nicole (Jeff) Provenza of Colstrip, MT, Christina Peterson of Colstrip, MT, Shauna (Rick) Zaranka of Camas, WA, and Trey (Beth) Gregg of Billings, MT, Dakota and Liam Gregg of Moses Lake, WA; and great grandchildren Makenzie Hamilton, Keea Zaranka, Giavona Provenza, Wyatt Peterson, Noah Gregg, and Weston Hartman. She is also survived by sister-in-law Jolene (Cody) Taylor, many nieces, nephews, and god children.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Bill Gregg, parents Edwin and Hertha Beyl, her brothers Jim, Edwin, and Glen; sisters Beverly, Sheila, and Betty Lou.

  2. Linda Wolff Bowen (Willoughby)
    Colstrip has lost one of it”s biggest supporters . Linda is now riding in heaven with Bill I hope that they have a lovely ride. We lived on the same street when I lived in Colstrip. We traded houses because we liked each others houses better. We watched each other kids grow long after I moved away. My deepest sympathy to the kids .

  3. Thinking of all of the family… Linda and Bill were special people… I had several good memories of various things with both BIll and Linda..
    Prayers to all..
    Take care, she is watching over all of us….

  4. Only in recent years had I come to know Linda (when Trey married into my family), and when we became Facebook friends, I really enjoyed her stories about raising her kids, watching her grandchildren grow and of course, all the escapades she and Bill shared together. I always looked forward to hearing from her and there were many times her enthusiasm was exactly what I needed to hear that day. We all mourn with her family and know she will be missed in her community and family. No doubt she and Bill are now together and watching over their family and for that I am happy. Holding her family in love and prayer, Sherry O’Keefe Faber

  6. I’m forever grateful to have known both Linda and Bill. We instantly became part of their family. There’s no doubt that those two are together again and will forever watch over the legacy they left behind. Their spirit will always be here and their legacy will shine through in all of you kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. They will be truly missed~ Hugs, love and prayers for all.

  7. Loni, Dickinson and Bobby,
    I’m in shock just learning of your moms passing. Linda was a great friend and confidant as well as a person who could brighten up my blue day! I met Linda through our love of making those beautiful porcelain dolls and sewing their clothes! We had many fantastic trips together taking seminars in different studios! May God wrap his arms around you all and help you through the coming difficult days. My love and prayers are going out to all of you.

Now you all have two of the Best Angels watching over you. Love you all ❤️❤️❤️
