Inda Mary Mosby
Inda Mary Mosby, 93, of Miles City, formerly of Lewistown, died Monday, Dec. 19, 2011, at the Holy Rosary Extended Care Facility in Miles City.
She was born March 7, 1918, at the family home near Mecaha on the lower Musselshell River to Mary and Dugal Marks. As the third of 12 children in the Marks family, she spent much of her time helping to raise her younger siblings. One of her earlier childhood memories was taking turns with her sister Liz, baking 10 loaves of bread a day for the family. Mrs. Mosby’s education was completed at the Mecaha School.
In the midst of all her duties, she did find time to attend country dances, which she loved; many of which she could only attend by riding horseback many miles with her brothers and friends. It was at one of these dances that she met Everett Mosby, whom she would eventually marry.
From 1938-1941 Inda worked as postmistress at the Mecaha post office, a job she enjoyed.
On Dec. 15, 1941, she was united in marriage to Everett in Billings. They worked for several local ranches before purchasing the family ranch near Mosby in 1949 where their three children were raised and where they worked side by side until moving to Lewistown in 1974. After Mr. Mosby’s retirement from Fergus County in 1980, they enjoyed traveling and camping, working around their home and spending time with their family.
In October 1997, Mr. Mosby died and Mrs. Mosby lived on in Lewistown for several years until moving to Miles City to be closer to family, where she remained until the time of her death.
She was an excellent housekeeper who enjoyed design and color, even when the rest of her family couldn’t distinguish between the subtle shades of off-white that she insisted were different.
Flowers, especially roses, and birds brought her joy and she shared their beauty with anybody who came to her corner of the world. Ever competitive, Mrs. Mosby enjoyed playing cards and games with her grandchildren, and liked nothing better than to debate politics and world affairs over a good cup of coffee. She never stopped learning and growing, a life-long reader and interested in the world around her. Her family still talks about what a good cook she was.
Mrs. Mosby is survived by her son, Marvin (Betty) Mosby of Winnett; two daughters: Donna Dutton of Miles City and Arlene (Dick) O’Connor of Brusett ; her sister, Dorothy Weingart of British Columbia; 11 grandchildren; and 27 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Everett; and 10 brothers and sisters: George, Elizabeth Kettle, Dugal, Ed, Kern, Albert, Jack, Pete, Agnes Bierley and Bob.
Visitation will be Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2011, at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Miles City. Funeral services will be Thursday, Dec. 22, 2011, at 11 a.m. at Cloyd Funeral Home in Lewistown. Interment will follow in the Sunset Memorial Gardens cemetery in Lewistown.

She was born June 2, 1919, on the family homestead north of Terry to Ray Grant and Matilda Pettersen Grant, the youngest of four children. At the age of six years, she and her family moved into Terry so she and her siblings could attend school. However she always said the best times were the summers spent out home in the country. She graduated from Terry High School in 1937 having attended all 12 years in Terry.
On April 9, 1938, she and Lawrence Norris were married in Terry. Shortly thereafter they bought the home ranch just north of the Little Sheep Mountain.

She loved the outdoors and loved her yard work. She was passionate about her gardening, her beautiful flower beds and her yard. Mrs. Norris was also an avid Terry Terrier fan and never missed a game in which her granddaughters participated.
She always had a bucket of sandwiches ready to take on long out-of-town trips to ball games. Even after the girls graduated she continued to attend games with her good friend Vi Fluss for as long as she was able.
Another passion of Norris’ was her crafts. She was constantly trying new patterns and making things for her family. Many things that she made for her grandchildren have now been passed down to her great-grandchildren. Up to a year ago Mrs. Norris was donating her crafts to be sold as fundraisers for the Relay For Life cancer organization in Billings.
Mrs. Norris was a double cancer survivor, first breast cancer then cervical cancer. She insisted on living in her home with the help of family and friends for as long as she was able to. In November of this year she moved to Cottonwood Care in Miles City where she was very content and comfortable and so pleased with the good care she received.
