Everett was born at home in Manhattan, MT to Harley and Myrtle Tudor on October 5, 1925. He grew up on the ranch and loved to tell stories about his boyhood adventures. One story he told often was about when his Grandma & Grandpa Tudor died in a car accident on Thanksgiving Day in 1932. His parents had to leave him alone to go take care of things. He was just 7 years old and had to keep the fire burning in the stove to keep the house warm, feed their 4 horses, let them out of the barn and clean the stalls, feed the pigs, and gather the eggs and milk 8 cows. He also had to chop holes in the ice of the creek so the animals had water. His parents sent a friend to help him feed the 50-60 cows. It was a lot of responsibility for a young boy, something he remembered and talked about often. An important event in his childhood was attending a Christian tent revival and accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Everett loved the Lord and made sure his family heard the gospel so they could make a decision for Christ too. In January 1944 he joined the Marines and then fought on Iwo Jima for fourteen days, from February 19 to March 4, 1945 when he was shot. He received a purple heart and was honorably discharged due to disability. He did not talk about his war experiences until later when he wrote a short story about it. Late in his life, he started to tell more war stories to family members including one about how the raising of the flag on February 23rd helped to boost the morale of the soldiers for a time, but it sure wasn’t the end the fighting which continued until March 26, 1945. Once he was back home and healed enough, he returned to Manhattan and graduated from High School in 1946. Everett was very proud of our American Military, especially his grandson Jayson who is currently on active duty in the Army. Everett married the love of his life, Marjorie (Williamson) in Bozeman, MT on March 4, 1951. They made their home together in Bozeman. He worked at the Quality Check Dairy in Bozeman and earned several awards for making ice cream and he was the plant manager for several years. In 1968 he was hired as a sanitarian for the Department of Livestock and moved his family to Polson. As the Western District Milk Inspector he traveled on a regular basis to all the Montana dairies west of the Divide. He was then promoted to Chief of the Milk & Egg Bureau and moved to Helena in 1978 and retired in 1988. After retirement, Everett spent many years caring for his bride and working on their home in Leisure Village. He was good at fixing things and built a little shop in a storage shed. He hung his initials above the door “ET” and we all had a good time joking about the movie character living in there. He also enjoyed taking care of the lawn and helping Marje plant flowers. Though he complained about having to move the big flower pots into the house whenever a frost was eminent, he continued to plant flowers in those same pots in the years after Marje passed away in 2007. They always had a little dog and sometimes a cat for company – Rocky, Gizmo, MinjLi, Corky and Patches to name a few. In 2013 Everett and his buddy Corky moved to Missoula to live with a grandson and his family. They provided the loving care that afforded Everett a full life to 93 years old. They were blessed to have him in their home and enjoyed Grandpa’s quick wit and stories. Everett is survived by his 2 daughters and sons-in-law, 5 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Marjorie, son-in-law F. Herbert Sorensen, Grandson Toby Starkel, and his brother Leonard Tudor. Complete obituary at Cremation and Burial Society
