Read More	Mollie Lentz, age 88, of Miles City, passed away on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010, at the Holy Rosary Extended Care in Miles City. Mollie was born in Silesia on April 3, 1922, to David and Katherine Reichert. She moved with her family to Forsyth in March of 1927. Farming beets, hay, corn and beans became her life, working the land with her brothers and sisters. She always said she loved working in the fields with the horses. She told the story of clearing land of sagebrush, trying to load it onto a wagon, not being tall enough to reach the top. She fell and all the sagebrush ended up on top of her. And she never gave up, finally loading it by herself. Schooling was at the Hammond Valley School under the teaching of Mrs. Ceile McGraw for eight years. She loved the track meets and Christmas programs. Mollie always talked of visiting neighbors in a bobsleigh with hot bricks to keep her feet warm and quilts to snuggle under. On Feb. 22, 1942, she married Willis Lentz. Together, they farmed first in Orinoco and later on their own farm in Cartersville, where they raised four children, Leona, William, Kenneth and Mary. When Willis went to work for the Milwaukee Railroad, Mollie did all of the farm work, including raising turkeys for the local grocery store. She also sold chicken eggs and cream. At one time, the milk cows numbered 17. She raised or grew most of the food used by her family. Mollie loved her bum lambs, even designing a trough to feed 10 or more at a time. After leaving the farm, they moved several times, including Ingomar, Sumatra and Vananda, before finally settling in Miles City. She became an avid quilter with many awards. She always was there to teach the newcomers how to quilt and was always available to judge quilt shows. Mollie was very creative and took a course by mail on how to decorate cakes and was well known for her wedding and anniversary cakes. She loved every minute of it. Along with all this, she discovered a new way to make rag rugs and didn?t rest until all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren had a quilt and a rug. She enjoyed gardening, but sewing was her passion, along with crocheting and knitting. Mollie sadly lost her eyesight in 1998 but that didn't stop her from trying to continue crocheting baby caps for the newborns at Holy Rosary Healthcare. She was a member of RSVP and proudly wore her pins. Mollie will be remembered for her quilts, cakes, rugs and most of all being there to help others when they needed her. The Lord called upon Mollie to join His quilting group. He needed new ideas and so He restored her eyesight, then gave her a golden needle, golden thread and patches of fluffy clouds. She is now with the great quilters who have gone before. Mollie is survived by two sons, Kenny (Leona) Lentz of Miles City and William (Maxine) Lentz of Florida; two daughters, Mary Vetch and Lee (Mark) Bauch, all of Miles City; two brothers, George Reichert of Colorado and John Reichert of Billings; a sister, Emma Dern of Kalispell; seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Willis; her brothers, Pete and Dave; her sisters, Claire, Betty, Cottie, Lydia, Elizabeth, and the twins, David and John. Visitation was held on Tuesday, Aug. 10, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Miles City. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, Aug. 11, at 11 a.m., at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Forsyth. Interment followed in the Forsyth Cemetery.
