Dale Hubing
Dale William Hubing, 97, of Circle died Jan. 30, 2026, at the McCone County Health Center.
He was born in Glendive on March 30, 1928, to Bert and Helene Hubing. He joined brother Robert and sisters Ann and Jean. The family was later joined by another sister, Corky. He grew up on his father’s homestead southeast of Circle. Horses were an important part of his life from an early age. He ranched with his brother, Robert, for many years. He told of owning land at Fallon and the days it would take to trail cattle from the ranch at Circle to the land in Fallon. He attended several country schools near the ranch and graduated from Circle High School in 1946.
He participated in rodeos in calf roping in his younger days and was a jockey for many years. He could still tell you what happened in a race and all about the horses on a race program from when he was riding.
He dedicated his life to the ranch and raising his family. The ranch was honored with The Heritage Award through the Cowboy Hall and Wall of Fame in 2019 — it had been in operation for 108 years at that time. He was a brand inspector for over 50 years and was honored and very proud of the belt buckle he received for his years of service.
He married Phyllis Rudolph on June 23, 1962. They celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary last June. They had five children, Patsy, Cathy, Renee, Jon and Sherri. He spent plenty of time helping with 4-H animals and getting all the horses ready for the many rodeos. He was in

Susan Jackson
Susan Mae Jackson, Tatanga Ska Wiya (White Buffalo Woman), died Feb. 23, 2026.
Born Feb. 13, 1941, in Oswego, she became the fifth of 11 children to parents Wilson and Josephine Jackson. She grew up in Frazer, where she attended school and obtained her GED. She worked numerous jobs, some of which she was fond of more than others. She was masterful at the many hobbies she enjoyed doing and to have a few which included sewing, baking and gardening. She kept the biggest yard within the community, teeming with an array of vibrant flowers and lush grass. She was tough like the ground she grew up on after all. More than anything, she loved spending time amongst family and seeing her grandchildren grow. A good portion of such times were spent on the powwow trail where she could be found front row cheering on her grandbabies as they danced or visiting with the many friends she made along the way.
Fierce and tenacious, she was the bedrock of her family, the one who knew where
