Lynn Langeliers

BILLINGS - Lynn Langeliers, 71, of Billings, MT passed away on November 3, 2023 with her children by her side. Lynn first shared her sparkly blue eyes and million dollar smile with the world on November 6, 1951 when she was born to Lester and Ethel Hageman. She grew up living the farm girl life in Rapelje, MT where she spent countless days playing outside with her brothers Donald and Joel. They always had cousins around and she was so grateful for the large extended family who has stayed close through the years.

After graduating from Rapelje High School in 1969, Lynn moved to Billings and attended Eastern Montana College. She married John Langeliers and moved to Grand Junction, CO where they had two sons, Shawn and Brian. After a brief stint in Helena, they moved back home to Billings and Lynn finally got her baby girl when Laura was born. Lynn's children were her pride and joy, and she made sure they had everything they needed and that they knew they were loved.

Lynn worked in several occupations early in her career, but after divorcing, she began her career in sales and was a natural. Through decades of working in radio and print advertising sales, Lynn consistently excelled and enjoyed dozens of lifelong relationships. Her success was not built through proven sales techniques, but rather the sincere care she showed for everyone she worked with. She was a friend to all, an encourager, and a dang good salesperson.

Her big heart extended past her business relationships. If you met Lynn once, you knew you could count on her as your friend. She had rich friendship circles and will always be remembered in these groups for the joy, laughter, and thoughtful gifts she brought.

Lynn's later years were filled with a passion for travel. She loved her trips with friends to see new parts of the US, but her greatest adventures were her many trips throughout Europe. When she wasn't traveling, Lynn spent as much time as she could with her family and friends. Her favorite title was Grammie, and her granddaughters will forever cherish the sleepovers, tea parties and snuggles.

Lynn is survived by her three children, Shawn (Angie) Langeliers of Billings, Brian (Sheena) Langeliers of Red Lodge, and Laura Langeliers of Eugene, OR. She is also survived by her granddaughters Sienna, Ainsley, and Savannah who she loved so much, her brother Joel (Brenda) Hageman, sister-in-law Marybeth Hageman (Donald), nieces and nephews, cousins, and countless friends.

A celebration of Lynn's amazing life will be held at a date in the near future. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that people make a donation in support of pancreatic cancer research or integrative oncology education.
