Read More	Big Timber Pioneer, April 7, 2016 Barbara Catherine Purcell was born May 6, 1946 in Carrington, North Dakota, to Earl Jesse and Gladys Irene (Foulston) Purcell. The family moved to Trout Creek, Montana, in the early 50s where Barbara started school After living in Trout Creek for several years, the family moved to the McLeod area, settling on Elk Creek, where Barbara continued her schooling at the East Boulder School. A number of years later, the family settled just out of Big Timber on the Old Boulder Road. Barbara had many happy memories from the her childhood with her large family of five brothers and fie sisters; Doris, Norma, Rawleigh, Juanita, Wallace, Clayton, Rosemary, Bruce, Donald and Sheila. IN 1965, Barbara met and married the love of her life, Harvey Cort Strobel The couple was married in Billings July 17, 1965. To the marriage she brought her son James Ronald. The couple initially settled at the Tony and Alice Vandervoort place on the Yellowstone River. While living at the Vandervoort place, daughter, Julie Ann was born in 1966. In 1970, Cort built the family home on Upper Deer Creek. Shortly after moving into their new home, daughter Sandra Rae was born. In her early years, Barbara spent a lot of time with her older sister, Rosemary. She helped with the cooking, cleaning and childcare. Her sister Rosemary's brood of nine was very special to Barbara. Of course at that time, making and kneading bread by hand was how you did it, so she made slobber doughnuts with Danny Lee on the table, kneading dough and Danny Lee slobbering all over it. Barbara passed away from a very short but courageous battle with pancreatic on March 30, 2016, at Pioneer Medical Center It was where she wanted to be, and we were so glad to be able to get her "home" to spend her last evening surrounded by those she loved. What a journey it was to get a new angel to heaven, but it was worth every tear. Barbara loved her home, family, and animals. Coming from a large family, Barbara had many, many nieces and nephews, with a few that were extra special. Her critters were always very special to her as well. They included Sam, two Roscoes, Jockamo, Gregor, Boo, Squirty, a couple of Lisas and Buttons. Barbara loved her horses and horseback riding, spending a lot of time helping the neighbors move cows. In recent years, Cort and Barb acquired a fairly large population of cottontail yard bunnies, with one that was quite tame. She would throw a carrot out in the yard for hi in the morning and he would come and munch it down. All of Barbara's grandchildren had special place in her heart They start with Rian bing the first and oldest, then her cowgirl Shelby. She was so proud of Reese being a college graduate (he reminded her so much of Jim), and Devin who could talk her into about anything. Great-granddaughter Maren was the light of her life and her little helper. Barbara is survived by her husband Cort; daughters Julie Schmidt (Loren Funk) and Sandra (Darren) Halvorson, all of Big timber; grandchildren Ryan Schmidt of Williston, North Dakota, Shelby Schmidt of Billings, Reese Halvorson of Bozeman, Devin Halvorson of Big Timber and great-granddaughter Maren Schmidt of Big Tmber; sisters Sheila O'Connell of Big Timber and Norma Neumiller of Carrrington, North Dakota; brothers Bruce Purcell of Big Timber; and many nieces and nephews. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents Earl and Gladys Purcell; son Jm,; sisters Doris Vraa, Juanita Sands and Rosemary Myrstol and Clayton Purcell; special brothers-in-law David Myrstol and Lyle Neumiller.
