Dorreen Jo Brown, died Monday, Feb. 1, 2021, at the Poplar Community Hospital. She was born on April 18, 1963, in Poplar to Thomas Brown Sr. and Alva Bighorn. 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.

Marion Arliss Wolff, 87, of Culbertson passed away peacefully on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021, at the Sidney Health Center. Marion was born in the Culbertson area on July 6, 1933. She grew up on a dairy farm with her parents, Russell and Maren Oelkers, and 12 siblings. As a child, she spent her days working around the farm and helping her mother with her younger siblings. She attended school in Culbertson and participated in everything she could including cheerleading, band and choir. It was in high school that she met the love of her life, Darwin Wolff. After graduation, Marion became a switchboard operator at the local telephone company, while she waited for Darwin to graduate high school so that they could be married. Some of her fondest memories and closest friendships were developed during this time. The high school sweethearts were finally able to marry on July 2, 1955, and enjoyed 51 years together as husband and wife until Darwin's passing on March 14, 2006. During their life together, they had two sons, Darold and Dale. The family loved to travel and spent every moment they could outdoors — whether camping, hunting or fishing, they were always active. Marion and Darwin are remembered fondly as a fun loving couple who always enjoyed being surrounded by their family and friends. Together, they were the original owners of the Stagecoach in Culbertson. Marion was the kind of woman who was Grandma or Auntie to everyone in the small town of Culbertson — whether you were blood or not. All who walked through her door were treated like family and immediately offered hot coffee, fresh cookies or a cold beer. She loved to host and was a notorious food-pusher. She always had coffee ready for company, with a second pot on standby; storytime at Marion's was a two-pot event. She loved watching birds and working in her lovely garden. She almost always had a puzzle in process in her living room while she watched the news or listened to local sports on the radio. She loved her grand- and great-grandchildren immensely and was so proud to be 'GG' to so many. Marion is survived by her sons, Darold (Kelley) Wolff of Sidney and Dale Wolff of Culbertson; grandchildren, Christine Prevost, Jessica Kierstead, Daryn Wolff, Joshua (Holly) Wolff, Cody (Kayla) Wolff and Jake (Brooke) Wolff; and great-grandkids; Koltyn, Kash, Spencer, Ark, Lok, Tripp, Finn, Ava, Auna, Bridger and Piper. She is also survived by her sister, Betty Mc-Ginnis; brothers, Ray Oelkers and Don (Myrna) Oelkers; brother-in-law, Ron Ueland; sisters-in-law, Rose Oelkers and Hulda Oelkers; and many nieces and nephews. Marion was preceded in death by her parents, Russel and Maren Oelkers; her husband, Darwin; brothers, Russell, Floyd, Marvin and Stanley; and sisters, Alice Oelkers, Ruth Iverson, Gladys Tietz, Leona Young and Ann Ueland. Memorial services will be planned for a later date this summer. (Paid Obituary)
