Lois Therese Grobel

Lois Therese (Carlson) Grobel, age 87, died Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017.

At Lois' direction, there will not be a public service. There will be a memorial reception at the Cottonwood Inn on Tuesday, Nov. 14, beginning at 3 p.m.

She was born July 16, 1930, in the Asbury Hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., the youngest child of Richard and Alvina Carlson. She graduated from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, and on Jan. 22, 1949, married Lynn D. Grobel after he completed service with the 82nd Airborne.

In the early 1950s, she and her family moved to Montana, living first in Billings, then Helena and finally settling in Glasgow in 1959, a move for which she was always grateful. She loved the people of Glasgow, their down-to-earth warmth and welcoming character. Northeastern Montana, its rugged beauty, boundless plains and majestic skyline was always a source of inspiration for her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, William and Robert Carlson; one sister, Jean Mullane; Lynn, her husband of 61 years; a daughter, Mary; and a son, Peter.

Survivors include a son, Stephen, of York County, Va.; four grandchildren, Nick, Sarah, Lynsey and Zack; and several nieces and nephews.

She thrived the last seven years at Valley View Home and regularly expressed her appreciation for the loving and outstanding care she received. It is her desire that anyone inclined to make a memorial contribution, to do so in favor of Valley View Home, 1225 Perry Lane, Glasgow, MT 59230.
