Read More	Helen Anne Gibbs, age 88, of Jordan, Montana, passed away in comfort, on the morning of July 10th at Holy Rosary Health Center in Miles City. Helen was born on August 19, 1928 in Jordan, MT to Milo and Nelly (Milroy) Hammond. She was raised on her family homestead on Flat Creek with her sister Mary Jane. She attended grade school in a one room country school at Flat Creek and graduated from Garfield County High School in 1946. After High School Helen spent the first summer at home. The war was just over and there was a shortage of teachers. Having been asked to teach, Helen went to the courthouse to submit an application. There the county assessor, Frances Hunter, asked her to come work in the assessors office. She worked four years as a clerk, before being elected to the County Assessor position. She also sold tickets at the movie theater and worked at the Garfield Hotel for Jim and Margret Viall. In addition, she was the treasurer for the town of Jordan, doing this work at night for five years. She worked in Jordan for a total of sixteen years until May of 1962. Helen and John Gibbs were married at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Miles City, MT on February 21, 1959. Helen and John made their home on the Gibbs family ranch east of Jordan on the Little Dry near Flowing Wells. They were happily married for 39 years, until John’s passing in October of 1998. Helen stayed active on the ranch tending her chickens, watching the turkeys in the back yard and serving on the Flowing Wells school board for many years until it closed. She contributed many thoughtful hours to the Jordan Museum, where she recounted to many the history of Garfield County. Helen was always engaged in the community and stories of the area and took great pride in recording these. Helen loved to reminisce and cared deeply about those around her. Helen kept tabs on her family, friends, and neighbors. She celebrated their triumphs and mourned their losses as if they were her own. If you had a few minutes she was always a phone call away and she always had something new to say. She loved visitors, the coffee was always on and she could always find some sweet treat. Helen moved into the Garfield County Nursing Home in 2011 and enjoyed the friendly care and companionship she found there. Helen is survived by her children: Philip (Karen) Gibbs of Jordan, MT; Lynn (Brian) Wittmayer of Fallon, MT; Jim (Jenny) Gibbs of Fort Peck, MT; Lee (Michelle) Gibbs of Circle, MT; grandchildren Cynthia Gibbs; Sara, Alix, Pete and Nora Wittmayer; Quinton and Racura Compton; Johnathon, Jacob and Jenna Gibbs; Sami and Paige Powell; great grandchildren Alexys Wittmayer; Craig Compton; Khayson Weisman; and Tucker Crawford She was preceded in death by parents Nellie and Milo, sister Mary Jane Hammond, husband John, son Thomas, brothers-in-law Gerald Gibbs and Jerome Haughian, and sisters-in-law Betty Haughian, Delores “Tootie” Gibbs, Birdice Gibbs, and R’Delle Gibbs. Should friends desire memorials can be made to the Jordan Ambulance Fund, the Garfield County Museum or the Garfield County Health Center.
