Description	:	Sarah D. Popp We reluctantly said goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Sarah Deines Popp, on June 14, 2011. The absolutely peaceful look on her precious face as she passed from this earth to Heaven told us she finally saw her God face-to-face with His arms outstretched and heard Him say, "Well done my good and faithful servant." We are almost certain there was some negotiating going on up there between God and her husband, Ed, about who was going to be first in line to greet her. Sarah was born January 29, 1922, in... Read More	Sarah D. Popp We reluctantly said goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Sarah Deines Popp, on June 14, 2011. The absolutely peaceful look on her precious face as she passed from this earth to Heaven told us she finally saw her God face-to-face with His arms outstretched and heard Him say, "Well done my good and faithful servant." We are almost certain there was some negotiating going on up there between God and her husband, Ed, about who was going to be first in line to greet her. Sarah was born January 29, 1922, in Billings. She was the 10th child of 13 brothers and sisters born to George and Katherine Deines. She was fortunate to have parents who believed in a solid Christian foundation and who instilled a good work ethic, which she used her entire life. On February 4, 1940, Sarah married Edward R. Popp and they remained side-by-side and hand-in-hand for 70 years until his death, October 6, 2010. They eventually purchased a farm just a few miles west of the farm she grew up on as a child. Sarah was a workaholic when it came to cleaning house, gardening, or helping with the farming. Yet, she made sure there was always time set aside for family. It was never too late to stay up at night and mend a torn shirt or too early in the morning to get up and bake a couple of pies, make some raised doughnuts, rival kuchen, or some wonderful dessert for the day because she knew that by 6 a.m., she would be out helping with the farming. She could drive a tractor, truck, or whatever, as well as anybody, and yet, with hands so tender and loving, could bandage a scraped knee, and as a bonus, a kiss to make it heal. There was never a neighbor, delivery man, repair man, or stranger that entered the house that wasn't invited, or told, to have lunch with the family. There was always enough food and room for a couple more people at the table. We are sure she had 48 hours in her days. She was always the nucleus, the hub, and the glue that held her family together. She couldn't wait for Saturdays. That was the day set aside for her and Dad to have lunch at the Great Wall or Happy Diner with their two granddaughters, Kirstie and Tara. However, Saturday night was ‘hamburger and game night' for the family. After supper there was always a hot pinochle game, shooting some pool, or any kind of board game. Sarah designed and knitted afghans for several years - most of which she gave away to family and friends. Sarah, Ed, and her brother, Harry Deines, formed the Big Sky Polka Band. She learned to play the accordion, piano, and organ by ear and memorized all the music they used for wedding receptions, dances, parties, and anywhere else they performed. She could play the entire evening without repeating a song. She was always practicing on the accordion, learning new and "modern" songs. It was devastating to watch Alzheimer's disease rob her of this God-given talent. She was a charter member of Peace Lutheran Church and served faithfully for many years on the Stewardship and Evangelism Committees. In spite of her shyness, she met many Peace families that went on to become lifelong friends. Sarah was preceded in death by her husband Ed, daughter Joyce, and son Jackie; her parents, George and Katherine Deines; brothers George, Henry, Alexander, Solomon, William, Emil and Harry; her sisters Mollie, Martha, and Bertha. She is survived by her children Doris (Wayne) Bromenshenk, Edward J. (Linda) Popp, and Julie (David) Beadle; granddaughters Kirstie Bromenshenk and Tara (Richard) Rabey; great-grandchildren Sarah, Emily, Jessica, and Lance Rabey; sister Clara Lambrecht; brother Benjamin Deines, and numerous nieces and nephews whom she always considered "her children." Memorials can be sent to Peace Lutheran Church or a charity of one's choice. We love you and all our prayers for a joyous journey home. The Billings Gazette ...
