Dorothy Beverly Stading, of Billings suddenly left this world to join our Lord on Wednesday, May 30th on her 76th birthday.

Dorothy was born in Poplar, MT to John & Eliza Berger. She was the youngest of 12 children. She graduated from St. Leo’s High School in June of 1949. On November 5th 1949, mom married the love of her life Paul Gilbert Stading at St. Leo’s Catholic Church in Lewistown, MT.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, and 10 of her brothers and sisters and her loving and devoted husband of 49 years, Paul Stading.

She is survived by her brother John Berger of Lewistown, four children, a daughter, Sharon (Dan) O’Donnell, a daughter, Paula (Tom) Larsen, a daughter, Jeannette Stading, and a son, Greg (Pam) Stading, her 11 grandchildren, Chris (Jana) O’Donnell, Corrie, Jared, Nick O’Donnell, Sarah (Neil) MacDannald, Amber, Cassandra, Terren Larsen, Chantenelle (Sam) Lind, Shay, Jack Stading and seven great-granddaughters and one great grandson.

She enjoyed being a mother and housewife and opened and operated Dorothy’s Daycare for 10 plus years. She will be remembered by many families for the loving care of their children she provided in her home.

Mom enjoyed playing Pinochle and Bunko with her friends. She loved to travel and especially loved to be surrounded by her family.

Mom was a very devout Catholic and an active charter member of St. Bernard’s Catholic Church. She was involved in various church activities throughout the years.

"May you always love Jesus as he loves you. Talk to Him, trust Him, and make time for just the two of you. Ask Him, listen to Him. Invite Him along on your dreams. Celebrate with Him, thank Him, cry in His arms, believe in Him, and imitate Him. Share His wisdom and love with every living thing. From this day, may you not only know Jesus as the Son of God but also as your very best friend."

We love and miss you Mom and Dad!

A Funeral Mass for Dorothy will be held 10:30 Monday at St. Bernard’s Parish. A vigil service will be held 7:00 PM Sunday also at St. Bernard’s. Visitation will be held Saturday from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary.
