She was raised and ranched in Roy all her life until moving in 1990 to the Billings area. Mrs. Jordan graduated from Eastern Montana State Normal School (now Montana State University-Billings) and was the captain of her basketball team. She was proud of the fact that she helped pack the cornerstone for McMullen Hall. She later taught at numerous small rural schools in central Montana, including Black Butte, Coal Hill, Cimrhakl and others. She and Larry Jordan Sr. from Ismay were married in Lewistown, a union that lasted for 65 years. They ranched for more than 60 years in and near the Missouri River Breaks, north of Roy. They were known far and wide throughout the country for their Quarter and Paint horses. Mrs. Jordan was a horsewoman in the truest sense, caring for the horses and cattle her entire life. One well-known horseman, Randy Rasmussen, named his very best filly "Helen of Roy" in her honor. In 2010, Helen and Larry Jordan Sr. were awarded the Cowboy and Cowgirl Heritage award from the Montana Pro Rodeo Hall and Wall of Fame in appreciation for preserving the Western Heritage Way of Life. In addition to being a devout Catholic, she was also a cowgirl, schoolteacher, homemaker, horsewoman and above all a great mother. She was known as the hard-working lady with the big heart. Her survivors include her youngest sister, Wanda Grauman (Don) who has been an important part of her life; her son, Larry Jordan (Kirstie) and grandson, Brent Jordan, who was the apple of her eye. She leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years who died in 2001; her sister, Marie Selway; and her brothers, Eddie Kudzia and Emil E. Kudzia. Memorials may be made to Montana Pro Rodeo Hall and Wall of Fame, P.O. Box 930, Billings, MT 59103. The family received friends Friday, Dec. 2, 2011, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Miles City. Interment followed at 1 p.m. at Calvary Cemetery in Miles City.
