Charles Shewey Obituary
In 1958, Chuck enlisted in the US Navy and was a pilot in the NAVCAD program stationed in Pensacola, FL. After his discharge, he began a lengthy career in banking, first with Commercial Credit in Rapid City, SD, and later with First Bank System, working in Livingston, MT, Sturgis, SD, and as a correspondent banker with First Minneapolis Bank in Minneapolis, MN.
In January 1977, he married Cindy Gurnett, and together they moved back to Montana with the purchase of Citizens First National Bank, Wolf Point, MT. In 1981, they moved to Bozeman where Chuck worked for Montana Bank until retirement. Out of retirement, Chuck worked again for First National Park Bank, Livingston. Later, Chuck was a licensed real estate agent, specializing in farm and ranch real estate.
During their 45 years together, Chuck and Cindy enjoyed their years in banking, raising a purebred herd of Red Angus cattle, and many camping, horseback, hunting, and fishing adventures, always with a yellow Labrador Retriever close behind.
Chuck was most at home in the out of doors, whether it be the mountains, desert, or the ocean. However, he was always happiest in the mountains of Montana.
Chuck is survived by his wife, Cindy; son, Brant (Shelly) of Rapid City, SD; daughter, Barb (Gregg) of Ellijay, GA; son, Brett of Fargo, ND; and daughter, Janice of Victoria, BC Canada, eight grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
