Lewis Milton Mitchell Siljenberg, 28, of Wolf Point died Feb. 3, 2021, in Billings. He was born to Lena and Kelly Siljenberg on Dec. 24, 1992. He grew up in Wolf Point, always surrounded by family. He attended school in Wolf Point. Later in life, he had moved to Kansas to be near family. While there, he was employed in construction. He thoroughly cherished the time he spent there with his mom and sister Dusti, and her family. He was the youngest of five and the only male. To some this might sound like a formidable start; for Lewis, it signified a responsibility to care and look out for his big sisters. He carried that way of thinking in all aspects of his life. He was always quick to offer a helping hand or a funny insight to cheer up someone’s day. He was a humble young man. He was very kindhearted and had a quiet, gentle spirit about him. He is survived by his father, Kelly Siljenberg; sisters, Dayle Garfield, Violet Siljenberg and Dusti Rose Siljenberg; and grandparents, Larry and Beulah Siljenberg. He was preceded in death by his sister, Kelli Jo Siljenberg. His funeral service was held Monday, Feb. 15, at the Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel in Wolf Point. Interment followed at the Chicken Hill Cemetery west of Wolf Point. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel of Wolf Point was entrusted with the arrangements.

She graduated from Brockton High School in May 1981. She played basketball and was MVP for the Lady Brockton Warriors her sophomore year. She married Richard “Harvey” Campbell Sr. in 1982.

They had three daughters, Marlana, Marcella and Martina. They lived in Fort Kipp and she would often travel with Charlie and the Black Dog Band and sometimes play tambourine. After their divorce, Dorreen had a longtime companion, Garrison Canuto. They had a blended family and lived in Williston, N.D., for several years and then finally, Sidney. She enjoyed traveling to New Mexico with Garrison to his family home. They went to the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota every year; this last year being especially memorable because she went on a zipline for the first time.

Throughout her life, she held odd jobs — she worked as a firefighter for the Fort Peck Tribes and at fast food restaurants in Williston, but her main job was being a stay-at-home mother. She liked to camp out at the local pow-wows and enjoyed going to bingo and playing machines with her mother. Holidays were her favorite time because of the large Bighorn family gatherings. She liked to cook and she made the best apple crisp. She enjoyed listening to music and if she liked a song, she would play it on endless repeat.

John Ray Sorensen was born on May 25, 1952, to Mary and Peter Sorensen of Scobey Montana, the last of four boys. The man with nine lives died Feb. 8, 2021. He filled his 68 years with love, laughter, farming and a whole lot of teasing. He met Paulette Bantz while cruising the streets of Plentywood and they married six months later in 1973. Their love and devotion to each other was unparalleled. They welcomed a son, Travis, and later a daughter, Allison. He spent most of his life in Scobey and only moved to Plentywood in 2017 when he was lured to spend more time with his grandchildren. He was happiest on a tractor going in circles, but always had time to visit, play a game of cards, tell a story or fling some teasing at whoever came in his path. He faced many medical challenges throughout his life, but handled them with spunk and shear determination. It was often joked that he was like the Energizer Bunny as he “just kept going.” He was preceded in death by son, Travis. He is survived by his wife, Paulette; daughter, Allison Reed of Plentywood; two grandchildren; and brothers, Henry of Scobey, Roy of Wisconsin and Joseph of Wolf Point. A memorial service was held Friday, Feb. 12, at Scobey Lutheran Church.
