Bertha Branem Lozeau
Bertha Branem Lozeau, 76, of Libby, died at Brendan House in Kalispell in January, following a long illness.
She was born on Aug. 12, 1923, in Missouri, the second child of John and Mary Hayes Seaborn. She spent her early years in Texas and Arizona, growing up with three brothers and four sisters.
She began to travel on her own in the early 1940s, arriving in Montana in the late 1970s. She had lived in Libby since the early 1980s. Her fierce independent spirit kept most people from knowing Bertha well, and she liked it that way. Her life was not always easy and her story is not generally known.
Friends know that Bertha loved music and played guitar and harmonica. She had a placer claim on Cherry Creek and enjoyed panning for gold. She liked crafts and animals and enjoyed tinkering and collecting. Bertha took her responsibilities as an American citizen seriously and was unashamedly patriotic.
Preceded in death by her parents, two brothers and two sisters, Bertha is survived by sisters Ethel Elizabeth, Dora and Virginia Ruth, and brother Vernon.
A family memorial service was held on Cherry Creek on Aug. 12, which would have been her 77th birthday. Personal condolences from Bertha’s friends can be sent to her sister Ruth Dickerson, 14005 Orchard Knob Road, Dallas, OR 97338.

Barry Hanley
Barrett Roy Hanley, 34, of Kalispell, died on Monday, Aug. 7, 2000, in a highway accident on U.S. Highway 2, east of Happy’s Inn.
He was born on June 22, 1966, at Libby, the youngest son of William and Rita Osborn Hanley.
Barry attended school in Libby, where he played the trumpet and French horn.
After graduating in 1984, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, training at Camp LeJeune, and serving in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Norway and the Mediterranean until he was honorably discharged in October 1988.
He spent two years in college in California before again enlisting in the Marine Corps Reserves in 1990. He became a combat veteran, fighting in the Persian Gulf during the Gulf War. He was again discharged in June 1991.
Later that year, while living in California, Barry suffered a gunshot wound to his chest and heart. When he woke up in the hospital hours later, his first words were to ask how his beloved Oakland Raiders were doing.
Barry’s recovery was swift, his scars impressive and he resolved to return to Montana, where he worked for older brother Pat as a logger.
In 1994, Barry met Erika Claus, the love of his life, and they were married on Sept. 13, 1997.
Barry enjoyed rafting, skin diving, water skiing, fishing, trap shooting, hunting and swimming. He was built like a Viking, had a relentless sense of humor and walked gently through this world bringing laughter and joy to all those he knew.
He loved stuffed as well as live animals and was proud to be a logger. He counted among his life achievements serving as a platoon sergeant in the Second Light Armored Infantry Forward Division, breaking a 100-yer-old record as Sniper Trainee, captaining an LAV into Iraq and streaking the entire length of the Libby Gut astride a motorcycle strapped into the bed of a friend’s pickup truck.
Preceded in death by his father William Hanley, Barry is survived by his wife Erika, Kalispell; his mother Rita, Jerome, Idaho, and Ericka’s parents Will and Dorothea Claus; brothers Bill Hanley and Helga Wagenleitter, Tok, Alaska; Brian Hanley and Tami Kline, Libby, and Pat and Nancy Hanley, Kalispell; sisters Kitty Spencer and Jamie Martin and Kelly and Rod Rantala, all of Jerome; 10 nieces, Trisha and her husband Chris English, Tamara and her husband Mark Shores, Kerensa Hanley, Savenna Hanley, Breena Hanley, Libby Hanley, Sara Hanley, Emily Spencer, Rae Ann Hanley and Hannah Wagenleitter; three nephews, Nick Spencer, Tom Hanley and Sean Rantala, and his four cherished fuzzy four-legged children, Chloe, Tika, Smedley and Bailey.
