Delila Jane Kress Scheff, 97, died Jan. 24, 2022, in Billings. She was born March 4, 1924, to Maria and George Kress. She was number seven in a family of 12 children, five girls and seven boys, on the family farm in Ambrose, N.D. Her father died when the family was young and her mother and the siblings took over the workings of the farm. She met her husband, Claude A. Scheff, in high school and they were married for 66 years. She kept the home fires burning while he was away at war for almost three years. He worked for the Farmers Elevators in Alexander and Tioga, N.D., Froid, Culbertson and Fairview while she was a homemaker and cooked for local schools and the hospital in Culbertson. They had three children. Gary Scheff of Arizona, Greg Scheff of Alaska and Cammy Lien of Billings. Claude died in 2009 and, ultimately, she moved with Cammy and Ed to Billings, where she resided until her death. She always had an appreciation for family tradition. For example, on her 50th wedding anniversary, she wore a dress made by her sister, “Toots” (Lillian) Stubbe. All five girls of the family wore the yellow dress for their 50th wedding anniversaries. She will always be remembered most for her life of generosity. Even at the age of 96 years, she knitted hundreds of hats for the homeless in Billings, donated through Peace Lutheran Church. Throughout her life, she was active in the church and, as such, enjoyed lutefisk and lefsa. She was a wonderful seamstress and, in addition to clothing, made many quilts and slippers enjoyed still by her children and grandchildren. She also made countless beautiful greeting and thank you cards. Her schoolteachers would be very proud of her beautiful penmanship. She was always one to plan ahead. Fifteen years ago, she announced she was shopping for her funeral dress. She was preceded in death by 10 siblings; and her son, Greg, who died in an airplane crash in Alaska in 2016. She is survived by one brother, Russell Kress of Minot, N.D.; son, Gary; daughter, Cammy; four grandsons; and 10 great-grandchildren. No services have been planned at this time.

Guy Francis Huber, 58, died Jan. 23, 2022, in Billings, Mont. Guy was born to Paul Leonard Huber and Doris Marie Hemesath Huber on Jan. 29, 1963, in Wolf Point, Mont. He was the seventh of nine siblings. He spent his childhood on the family homestead by Vida, where he learned many life skills in work, play and family life. His brother Robert says they were inseparable while growing up. They played and worked together, got in trouble together, rode bikes together, and built contraptions together. They also threw a few wrenches at each other. He graduated from Wolf Point High School in 1981. In the fall of 1981, he was preparing to head to college, but after the sudden death of his father, he chose to stay and carry on the family farm with his brother Robert and his mom. He met the absolute love of his life, Karen Yvette Overlie, in 1983. He adored Karen from the moment he met her, and they were married on Sept. 17, 1988. Together, they built a home on the farm and welcomed four beautiful children. Guy loved being a dad, and he was great at it. He was so good at everything he did; he was a caring friend and a helpful neighbor. He could fix anything and had an answer for every question. In his early adult life, Guy enjoyed hunting and spending time at the lake fishing, boating and keeping family and friends entertained. After many years, Karen convinced him to go into the hotel business, where he immediately took to it. He loved visiting with the guests and employees. His skills were put to good use fixing any issues at the business; he could fix anything. In recent years when he wasn’t working on the farm or at their businesses, he spent his time at their home in Billings, where he enjoyed life at a more leisurely pace. He loved having his kids and grandkids visit Billings, where many meals were made and shared, and lots of great conversations and laughs were had. Guy never missed a chance to tell his family that he loved them. Every phone call was ended with those words. Every time he left, he would hug and say I love you. His love will be carried on by all of those he left behind. Guy has a welcoming party in Heaven that includes his father, Paul; his mother, Doris; his oldest brother, Al Huber; and his best friend, Steve Nygaard. He also gets to meet for the first time his son, John Robert Huber. He leaves behind his wife, Karen Huber; and his four children: Nathan Huber (Cassandra Miller), their children, Guy’s grandchildren Kaleah and Tyler, Nicole Miller (Colton Miller), Lisa Huber and Joshua Huber (Reilly Allik). He also leaves behind his siblings: Paulette Flikkema (Alan) of Verdi, Nev.; Jean Vandermolen (Carl) of Bozeman, Mont., their children Scott (Brooke), Dori (Rick); Mary Ann Welcome (Rick) of Reno, Nev., their children Andrew, Brandon; Robert Huber (Verda) of Vida, Mont., their sons Kalynn (Leticia), Kris (Kristina); Loretta Cazazza (Rick) of Reno, Nev., their sons Anthony, Matthew; Rose Huber Javadi (Mahrdad) of Beverly Hills, Calif., her sons Ryan, Shyon; Mike Huber (Gina) of Vida, Mont., their son Gavin (Sierra). He also leaves behind his father- in-law, Wendell Overlie; and Karen’s family, whom he loved as his own.
