Lona Bell Aye passed away from this life on July 6th, 2020. She was born in Glasgow, MT on July 10th, 1929, the oldest child and only daughter of Louis and Harriet (Abel) Broadbrooks. She was later joined by brothers Jack in 1935 and Lyle (Heavy) in 1942. She was proud of the fact her family had come to Montana from Texas with the early cattle drives. Lona always enjoyed working on the family ranch near Saco, Montana in her youth. Whether moving cattle or putting up hay with a buck rake or fighting off mosquitos the size of birds, she cherished every moment. She attended Saco High School and graduated in 1947. After graduating she moved to Miles City, and lived with her Aunt and Uncle, Glada and Herb Abel. While in Miles City, she attended beauty school and worked as a hair dresser. Lona met Lester Aye around this time and the two were married in 1949. After their marriage they made their home on the Aye family ranch located on the Beaver Flats near Ekalaka, Montana. They were joined by their daughter Kathy in 1950. They worked hard raising wheat and cattle. Lona tended the garden and flower beds. We have been told some of the flowers she planted are still there today. Lester tragically passed away in 1953, and Lona returned to Miles City. In 1957 she married Willis Aye. They were joined by two sons, Bret in 1960 and Aaron in 1965. While in Miles City the family owned and operated two farms, one North of Kinsey on the Cap Rock Road, and another along the banks of the Tongue River south of town. They also ran several small businesses including a tree nursery and greenhouse. Lona was an excellent cook and held many family dinners. She was well known for her first-class catfish recipe which was enjoyed by everyone who tasted it. She believed in cooking everything from scratch, there were no box mixes for her. She spent her life helping others, which came natural given her generous and caring heart. She took care of Kathy in the family home until she was no longer able to. She had a love of travel going on many family trips to destinations like Hawaii, California and the family cabin in the Black Hills. Most of all she enjoyed returning to her roots in Saco and spending time with her brothers Jack and Lyle. Lona belonged to the United Methodist Church and several church circles. She and Willis were founding members of the Yellowstone Agate Club. She had a passion for gardening and growing flowers, she won many awards for her roses and peonies at the county fair. Her hidden talent was that she was a remarkable painter and artist, a gift she was always humble about. Lona is survived by her daughter Kathy, sons Bret (Tanna) and Aaron, and grandson Scott of Miles City. Sisters in Law Mary Lou Broadbrooks of Malta, and Arla Green of Carmel California. Step children Earl (Betty) Aye of Epsie, MT and Peggy Aye of Mesquite, NV and their children. As well as numerous special nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers. Husbands Lester in 1953 and Willis in 2004, and stepson Fred Aye. The family will be receiving friends on Friday, July 10, 2020 from 4:00 p.m. to 6;00 p.m. at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Miles City.
