Read More	Wanda Lavon Hoag In early hours of Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009, our mom, Wanda Lavon Hoag, 88, of Billings, left us to her greater reward. Born in 1920, she spent her formative years in Roundup, making many lifelong friends. Graduating summa cum laude from high school, she began her college education at the University of Montana, pursuing a business degree. The turbulent years of World War II interrupted her education, whereupon she found herself in Great Falls, working for the Great Northern Railroad. Her sister, Gladys Geelhart, worked at Malmstrom's PX, which is where she met the first love of her life, William "Roy" Dawes, direct descendent of William Dawes of Revolutionary War fame. He was in training at Malmstrom to become a bombardier pilot. After a brief engagement, Wanda Geelhart became Wanda Dawes; and not long following their marriage, Roy was shipped overseas and stationed in England, where he flew vital bombing sorties over Germany. Sadly, Roy made the ultimate sacrifice for his country during a dangerous and vitally important raid on a German ball-bearing factory. A saddened and distraught Wanda Dawes continued her work for years in Great Falls before meeting her second love, and our dad, Douglas Hoag. Bearing two sons and a daughter while living in a variety of places in the greater Northwest, Mom and Dad's life came full circle to retirement in Roundup in 1977 and subsequently Billings. Her spirited years of retirement included helping her daughter Laura with her local business and pursuit of a college degree, while maintaining a very close local relationship with her two sons, Rex and Ted. Mom bid farewell to Dad in the spring of 1997 and said goodbye to the last of her immediate family when her brother passed away a few years later. She leaves behind her three children, Ted (Susan), Rex (January) and Laura (Steve); two granddaughters, Caitlin and Sunny; and a great-granddaughter, Kyrie. She is also survived by her nephews and nieces who remained close to her heart, Mike, Al, June, Bill, Pat and Nancy Kaye. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3, at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Interment will follow at Mountview Cemetery. Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary is in charge of arrangements and condolences may be left for the family at www.michelottisawyers.com. Published by Billings Gazette on Feb. 27, 2009.
