The ineffable pairing of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, of Oklahoma!, Carousel, The Sound of Music, and The King and I fame created Cinderella as a television musical special starring Julie Andrews in the title role in 1957. Various stage versions and a second film version starring Lesley Ann Warren in 1965 continued to shape the work, adding characters and musical numbers along the way. However, the 1997 film starring Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as the fairy godmother and the brilliantly talented and diverse cast broke the mold of this fairy tale forever and inspired a generation.
Evelyn Dora Mix, 89, formally from Hinsdale Montana, died peacefully surrounded by love, Saturday, October 21, 2023, where she was residing in Glasgow, Montana.
Evelyn was born January 17, 1934, in Homestead, Montana to Emil and Alma (Frederick) Dalby. She was the second of eight children: John, Evelyn, Cora, Vernon, Melvin, Alvin, Cecil, and Nora.
Evelyn attended Glasgow Public Schools until quitting in the 8th grade to help care for her siblings and sick mother, Alma, after she was diagnosed with "milk leg".
Around the age of 15, Evelyn started working at Allen's cafe in Glasgow along with babysitting for close family and friends. When she was 17, she started working at the City Cafe in Glasgow. In September of 1957, she received a phone call from a gentleman by the name of Adrian, he said he worked with her dad, Emil, on the railroad and wanted to ask her on a date. Later it came to light that he would go in and watch her do dishes until he built the courage to ask her out. December 16th, 1957 behind the Fish and Game Building, at 12:15 am, Adrian proposed to Evelyn "Marry me now or forget it!" They wasted no time and were married on February 9, 1958! She then moved in with Adrian on the farm they made their home and spent 50 years of marriage together, until his passing on February 11, 2008. In their 50 years, they were blessed with five children: Adrian Earl Jr, Darwin William, Joyce Marie, Mabel Alma, and Margaret Lily.
After the passing of her husband, Evelyn resided on the family farm while being cared for by her daughter Joyce and then her granddaughter Adrianna until June of 2018. She had to have three stents put in, it was then the family decided it was time to move her in with her daughter Margaret in Poplar, Montana. In November of 2022, her health slowly started to decline and she moved in with her daughter Mabel in Glasgow to be closer and have more help from family, where she resided until she passed.
Evelyn enjoyed watching Days of Our Lives, Family Feud, Another World, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy. She also loved word searches and playing "Go-Fish". She loved going anywhere that involved her grandkids, especially school sports, and attending their school concerts. She enjoyed road trips with her children and grandchildren. Anywhere Joyce went, she would tag along. Her nicknames from her grandkids were either "Tag-Along" "G-Ma" and "Crazy Lady".
Evelyn was a real homemaker, she hung her clothes (even in the winter) and enjoyed canning vegetables from her garden. She always made jam and was known for all of her homemade goodies, there was nothing she couldn't cook or bake.

Marilyn (Hatton) Maxness was born July 19, 1937, in Wheeler, Montana to Thoralf and Hazel (Hartsock) Hatton. She passed away on January 13, 2023, in Helena, Montana with her family by her side.
Marilyn graduated from Glasgow High School in 1955. She started her lifelong career at Farmers-Stockgrowers Bank (now Wells Fargo) as a junior in high school. She was the first female trust officer in Montana. When Davidson Corp bought out the trust department from the bank, Marilyn transferred to Great Falls for about three years. She returned to Glasgow in 1992 and began working for Gary and Annette Wageman at Linsco Private Ledger until her retirement in 2000. She continued to live in Glasgow until the summer of 2022 when she moved to Helena.
Marilyn was married to Gordon Maxness and they later divorced.
She played bridge every chance she got and enjoyed the time spent with fellow bridge players. She volunteered many hours at the Pioneer Museum and served as the treasurer for the Valley County Historical Society. The Class of 1955 gathered for lunch once a month for many years. She traveled to France with Joan Helland and Eleanor Pratt in 1997, and also took a fall foliage tour to the east coast. She volunteered for the Republican Party and was a member of Soroptimist International.
Her greatest joy was her grandchildren. She attended every event she could from vacations together to school events, graduations, birthdays, and holidays and even managed to be there for a couple of births.
Marilyn is remembered for her kindness and incredible strength. She had a stem cell transplant in 2004 after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma. We were blessed with an additional 18 years of memories.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers, Bill and Bob Hatton; sister, Peggy Hatton; four infant siblings; her grandson, Kyle Barnes, and many close friends. She is survived by her daughter, Laura (Dean) Barnes; son, John Maxness; grandchildren: Alexa (Jake Fortin) Barnes, Erin, Ethan, and Andrew Maxness, and Morgan Scott; sister, Norma Lynch; sister-in-law JoAnn Hatton along with numerous nieces and nephews.
