Walborn, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, passed away on May 3, 2016, at her home in Shepherd. Barbara was born October 7, 1943, to Ernest and Lela Crenshaw in Billings. She graduated from Billings Senior High and Eastern Montana College with a Bachelor of Science in business administration and a Bachelor of Science in psychology. She began her college studies at age 36 while working three jobs. It was then she discovered a passion for accounting. Although her workload was large, she realized how tough she was, and that she could do anything, and so she did! Her many achievements include becoming a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner and Personal Financial Specialist. She served on many not-for-profit boards, including Yellowstone 4-H Council, 4-H Foundation, Montana CPA Society Board, Billings Studio Theater, Big Ditch Company, High Ditch Company, Cove Irrigation Company, Canyon Creek Ditch Company, City of Billings Board of Adjustments and YWCA. Because she found accounting fascinating, she tutored during her college years, then later provided interns with practical experience at her accounting firm, Walborn, Fagan, and Cook. She created the Barbara J. Walborn Scholarship at Montana State University Billings for non-traditional college students. Those who knew Barbara best can agree on her integrity, generosity and tenacity. She confidently gave advice on a multitude of topics ranging from accounting to agriculture and believed that she lived her life to the fullest. Among her many talents was making the best fried chicken, apple pies and homemade ice cream. She possessed the ambition to pursue a successful career, yet she had the tenderness for belly laughs and cuddles with her great-grand babies. Barbara was always grateful that her family lived within 15 miles of her, allowing her to build cherished memories with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had many adventures and misadventures with honky cows, spirited horses, jet skis, snowmobiles, boats, ATV's and tent camping. She had a desire to travel and relished in experiencing the world with those she loved. She embraced the challenge when Murphy's Law tested her vacation plans! The adventures and time she cherished most were spent with her soulmate Denny Nickel. She felt that he and his family came into her life at the perfect time. She understood how good God had been to her and fearlessly embarked on her last and greatest adventure—meeting Jesus. If she were here right now her advice would be, "Dry eyes, chin up, chest out! Celebrate my life, don't make it sad! God is good." She enjoyed many outings with her Birthday Bunch. In addition to this special group she was blessed with many close friends, including but not limited to, Donna Schuyler, Ilene Agosto, Tim Filz, Darlas Raile and Pat Kinsey. Barbara is preceded in death by her parents Ernest and Lee Crenshaw and her sister Jeanne Rasmussen. She is survived by her brother Bill (Jan) Crenshaw; her brother-in-law Chester Rasmusson; her daughter Kymm (Steve) Stark; her son Ed (Phyrne) Fick; her grandchildren, Jonathan (Jen) Stark, Jesse (Jen) Stark, Charles (Caitlin) Fick and Jenny Fick; her dear partner in life Dennis Nickel, his son Russ (Ann) Nickel, his daughter Wendy (Dwayne) Hould; her cherished great-grandchildren Brocton and Bailey Stark, Mason Stark, Bridger Fick, nephews Tyler Crenshaw, Michael Rasmusson (Michelle), Rick Vanover (Christina); nieces Cindy Steele (Doug) and Cindy Vanover (Matt Gorsuch); and Richard Fick, father of Kymm and Ed. Her family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care provided by Genesis Brown, RN with Riverstone Health Hospice. Special thanks to Jenny for writing this final tribute to your Grandma. There is love that will live forever, and there are memories that will shine through the sorrow.
