Lois Brown

Lois L Brown, 84, of Wolf Point, Mont., passed away on Nov. 1, 2025. at the Billings Hospital Clinic due to a major stroke.

Lois was born Sept. 7, 1941, in Wolf Point, Mont., to John and Lou (Langager) Lindsay. She was the oldest of three siblings.

She was married soon after graduating from Wolf Point High School to David K. Brown of Vida, Mont., who was actively serving in the U.S. Navy. She spent nearly 20 years as a Navy wife and mom while they were stationed in San Diego, Calif.; Guam; Whidbey Island, Wash.; San Diego, Calif.; and Alameda, Calif. When Dave retired, she settled in Susanville, Calif., and instantly fell in love with the town and region where she loved raising animals, specifically horses, although she had countless dogs, chickens, goats, cats and the list goes on dependent on the day of the week.

Even though she ended up moving back to Wolf Point, Mont., a part of her still resided in Northern California. After several years working at the Homestead Inn and Nemont Water in Wolf Point, she found true peace at a small place south of the Missouri on the Redwater River. This little ranch had all the above animals plus “attack” turkeys!

Lois was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Bob; and her husband of 49 years, David Brown.

She is survived by her brother, Ed Lindsay (Bev) of Scobey, Mont.; sons, Durk of Wolf Point, Mont., and Clint (Minda) of Port Orchard, Wash.; grandsons, Dusty (AJ) of Wolf Point, Mont., and Nicholas of Casper, Wyo.; and granddaughters, Valerie of EWA Beach, Hawaii, Cassandra (Justin Okada) of EWA Beach, Hawaii, and Diane.

A funeral to bury her ashes will be held on Thursday, Nov. 5, at the Wolf Point Cemetery at 10 a.m. A celebration of life will follow immediately after at the Stockmen’s, 218 Main St. in Wolf Point.
