Betty Jane Salois
September 30, 1936 — September 12, 2012
Betty Jane (Crouch) Salois, 75, a retired book keeper at the Cut Bank IGA, passed on at a Great Falls hospital from natural causes on September 12, 2012 and was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven by our Lord. Visitation will be held Monday, September 17, at the Whitted Funeral Chapel, 130 Sixth Ave. S.E. in Cut Bank from 1:00 to 8:00 pm. Funeral service is 2:00 pm Tuesday, September 18, at the First Presbyterian Church followed by burial at Crown Hill Cemetery in Cut Bank, MT. A reception will be held at the Presbyterian Church fellowship hall following burial.
Betty was born in Malta, Montana to Calvin and Edna (Cardwell) Crouch. After growing up in Malta and helping out in Oregon and Montana with family, she settled in Cut Bank after marrying Everett K. Salois at the age of 16. After several jobs in Cut Bank, she worked as the Office Manager for and retired from the Cut Bank IGA.
Betty was known to most of the kids in Cut Bank as a second Mom. Every soul she touched was blessed by her smile, happiness, and love of life. Her passion was laughing, giggling, and having fun with her family, friends, and love for the outdoors. Her laughter and joy was contagious, and all those she came in touch with enjoyed her company. She could always be found cooking her world famous birthday cakes, turtle pancakes, and her infamous potato salad.
She was preceded in death by her brothers, Weston and Cal Crouch; her sisters, Gretta Hale and Shirley Jones; and her loving husband, Everett Salois.
She is survived by her companion of 20 years, Wilbert (Red) Sturm; her eldest son, Kenneth B. (Karin E. Sasse) Salois, of Great Falls; daughter, Kate J. Salois, of Cut Bank; and son Michael J. Salois of Helena. She has numerous grandchildren starting with Megan (Sasse) Smith, Brianna Salois, Cheyenne Scammerhorn, Alyssia Salois, Gabriel Salois, and great grandson Jerry (JJ) Smith.
In lieu of flowers, donations are can be made to The Cut Bank Veteran’s Memorial Park. Contact Doug Ray at (406) 450-2000 for mailing instructions.
