From the Big Timber Pioneer, May 2-8, 2008:
Dorothy Jean Eustice, 74, died after suffering from a stroke at the Stillwater Community Hospital on April 28, 2008.
She was born the daughter of Clarence and Minnie (Schuyler) Phipps on June 23, 1933 in a converted box car in Reed Point, Montana. She attended school and spent her entire life in Reed Point.
Dorothy was a kind and giving soul and never turned away anyone in need. She gave to others even though she had little herself. She will be fondly remembered for her fun loving ways. All who knew her will have special stories and memories.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Roger Phipps, her son Bernie Bohme, and her special friend Gene Woods. Dorothy is survived by her niece Ginger (Bill) Byntner of Las Vegas, NV, and her nephew Clarence (Lynn) Phipps of Reed Point, her faithful dog, Buffy, and her many, many friends in Reed Point and beyond.
Please join us for a celebration of her life at the Waterhole Saloon in Reed Point on Sunday, May 4, 2008 from 4 to 6 p.m. Donations may be made to the Reed Point Fire Department. As Dorothy would say, "Come on down, I'm buying."
