Read More	Herbert Lee Tangen, was born Dec. 28, 1932 to Gregor I. and Margaret Pearl Hadley Tangen at their home in Farmington. He died from aspiration pneumonia, caused by Vascular Dementia, June 21, at Teton Medical Center in Choteau. He spent his last day here signing “I Love You” and blowing kisses at his grandchildren. In his passing he was surrounded by those who love him. He attended elementary school at East Farmington and High School at Choteau High School in Choteau. He was confirmed in the Trinity Lutheran Church along with his sister Helen in 1945. Herb was actively involved in 4-H, FFA, and football. He attended college for one semester at MSU, but returned home to take over the family farm after his father experienced a back injury. On Oct. 16, 1954, he married Patricia Ann Clark. Together they had five children: Kathy Jones, Douglas Tangen, Amy Sangwin Wicks, Janice Fowler, and James Tangen, all still living. Herb was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church his entire life, first at Farmington, then in Choteau. He was on the Farmer’s ditch board, the church counsel, and the school board, which allowed him to give his two eldest children Kathy and Doug their diploma. Herb worked around the clock, and around the calendar, but was faithful to two very special annual trips: the family trip to Seeley Lake and the anniversary trip he and Patty took to the Oregon Coast. He also loved to go to the mountains, snowmobile, play cards, his tractors and checking crops on an evening drive. Herb first started having severely noticeable symptoms 18 years ago this spring. Several doctors and hospital stays later dad was officially diagnosed with the disease that took his life. During the trials of the disease Herb and Patty were divorced. On March 5, 2000, Herb married Margaret (Meg) Gribble. Herb was a strong, strong man. He survived the losses he endured by the trust he instilled in all of us. He, his family, gives that back to him now and pass it on to our children. Herb is survived by his wife of 42 years Patricia All Tangen; his wife of 8 years, Margaret (Meg) Gribble Tangen; Kathy (John) Jones, Douglas (Kim) Tangen, Amy (Dave) Wicks, Janice (Darren) Fowler, James Tangen; 14 grandchildren; one great grandson; two sisters, Helen (Don) Rice, Judy (Leonard) Ober; three nieces; and one nephew. He is preceded in death by a grandson, Dusty (Kathy and John) Jones, and a niece Dorothy (Helen and Don Rice) Knobel, and his parents Gregor and Margaret Pearl Tangen. The funeral is June 25 at 11 a.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church with burial at Choteau Cemetery, followed by a luncheon at the church. Visitation was held June 24, at the Gorder Funeral Home.--The Independent-Observer (Conrad, MT)
