After a short illness, Linda Kay Bellon passed away on Friday, May 19, 2023, at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow, Montana.
Linda was born to Bryan and Frances Warrick on September 9, 1941, in Blair, Nebraska, the third of four children. Linda attended Blair High School and had a passion for attending rodeos and the Grand Ole Opry, meeting Johnny Cash and many other country music stars during her young adult years.
After graduating high school, Linda pursued an interest in law and computer programing, working for Guarantee Mutual in Omaha, Nebraska for six years before taking a job with the First Security Bank in Glasgow. She married John Henry Bellon of Nashua, Montana on July 8, 1970; together they raised three sons (Rich, Bill, and Tim) while running Bellon Farm and Ranch.
Linda loved farming, cooking, politics, listening to country music, playing cards with friends, and spoiling her grandkids. She also had a soft spot for animals, and doted on her dogs. She was sustained by a deep faith. The Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Nashua provided a spiritual home.
Linda is preceded in death by her parents, stepfather Roger Stebbens; brothers, Bill and Larry Warrick; and children: Jennifer, Michael, and Christopher Bellon. She is survived by husband John; brother, Donny; son Rich and wife Vicky; son Bill and wife Jaime; son Tim and wife Lisa, and four beloved grandchildren: John, Allie, Sophie, and Jayden.
Mom will be greatly missed by us all—her fantastic cooking, funny stories, charming wit, and love for family and friends. May God bless her.
A vigil will be held for Linda, at 6:00 p.m., Thursday, May 25, 2023 at Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Nashua. A funeral mass will be held 10:00 a.m., Friday, May 26, 2023 at Queen of Angels with Father Jose officiating.
