Willis McClammy
Willis E. McClammy, 64, of Poplar died April 5, 2024, in Billings.
He was born in Poplar on Nov. 7, 1959.
He enlisted in the Army in November of 1976, shortly after turning 17 years old. He attended Basic Training at Fort Dix, N.J., then went to Advanced Individual Training at Fort Belvoir, Va., 13 miles from Washington, D.C. He was then stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, where he was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry, 2nd Armored Division. My Battalion went to Germany in 198 on Operation Feforger. After returning to the United States, he was discharged in December 1979 with a rank of Private First Class.
When he got back from the Army, he went to work in the oilfield with his step-father, E.J. “The Hand” Reddoor. He worked for 15 different drilling companies for the next 30 years, usually as a motorman. He was 55 the last time he roughnecked. During this time, he roughnecked in the winter and went firefighting in the summer. He worked 25 seasons as a wildland firefighter for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. During this time, he was dispatched across the United States.
In March 2014, he found himself homeless. He moved into the Fort Peck Warriors Center in Poplar, where he got my GED and went to work fencing for the Fort Peck Tribes Range program. He transferred to the Tribes’ IRR Program as a janitor/ maintenance employee for six years until being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. After that, it was a lot of TV and going to church when he felt okay.
He had eight children: Kyle and Reanna in Poplar, Jubal, Jettison and Adelle from Paula Owens in Poplar, John D in Fort Kipp, and two step-children, Chance and Cyrenna Standing in Wolf Point.
Daughters, Reanna and Adelle; and two brothers, Resse Reddoor and George McClammy, preceded him in death.
He is survived by his wife, Brenda (Dionne) McClammy; sisters, Faith O’Connor, Haven Gourneau, Velvet Schneider, Gaynell McClammy, Delrae Reddoor and Johnny Lee Bearcub/Stiffarm; and two brothers, Pat McClammy and Robert “Pinner” McClammy.
A graveside service will held at 1 p.m., Saturday, April 13, at the Poplar City Cemetery.

June Carlson
June Barbara Young Carlson, 86, of Medicine Lake died March 30, 2024, in Missoula.
She was born July 27, 1937, in Williston, N.D., to Robert and Barbara Young of Froid. She graduated from Froid High School and attended business school in Minnesota the following fall.
She met Lloyd Carlson at her grandparents’ house. He was there drilling a water well. They married March 8, 1957, at the Union Congregational Church. They were the first couple married in the new church. They built a house on Main Street in Medicine Lake and raised their family there.
She was a stay-at-home housewife raising four children. She did the business books for their water well business as well as her Thursday night bowling league. She was a member of the Medicine Lake Congregational Church Ladies Aid and served as a member of the Medicine Lake Music Mothers. She chaired many R.E.C. annual meeting dinners as well as Music Mother dinners. She chaperoned multiple music trips to state festivals.
In 1986, they began spending their winters in Yuma, Ariz. They wintered in Yuma and summered in Medicine Lake until Lloyd could no longer make the trips back and forth. During the winters spent in Yuma, she volunteered at the Yuma Visitor Center.
She enjoyed reading Harlequin romance books and, later in life, she enjoyed watching the Hallmark channel or The Voice.
She is survived by daughter, Connie Tetrault of Plentywood, Carol Lubbers of Billings and Karen Sautter of Missoula; son, Curtis Carlson of Branson, Mo.; and three sisters, Lucille Waters of Bismarck, N.D., Edna Mc-Nealey of Yuma, Ariz., and Vivian Ostby of Williston, N.D.
