She was a baptized/member at Red Eagle Memorial Church where she attended Bible school and assisted with all church events. She was raised by her grandparents, Lida and Gale Menz, and she enjoyed being in the kitchen. Lida was her biggest supporter and they would cruise all over together. She had the biggest heart and an infectious smile and laugh. She was always joking, teasing her friends, co-workers and family. She was always there to lend a hand or help someone in need, often helping babysit many children. She had two children, Emerlee Lynn Menz and Jason Lee Trinder. She kept all their paperwork from grade school and was proud of their accomplishments. One of her highlights in life was the birth of her grandbaby. A second grandbaby will be here in April and will be named in her memory. She enjoyed walking, riding her bike, cooking, cleaning and visiting friends and family. She had various jobs but enjoyed working at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Poplar. She is survived by her mother Bonnie Menz; children, Emerlee and Jason; sisters, Stacey Summers, Danelle Olsen, Gale Menz, Myron, Misty Haase, Dustin Menz, Leslie Menz and Kaycee Menz; and grandmothers, Darlene Left Hand and Cyndi Bighorn.
