Mary Rose Orler

Mary Orler made the peaceful journey home on January 16, 2024. Mary was surrounded by
those she loved the most, her family and friends. Mary was born in Billings, MT on October 17,
1951 to John and Rose Orler. Mary is survived by her sister Louise, her best friend/cousin/
partner-in-crime Gerianne Zagoric. She is also survived by the following family members: Carol,
Patty, Anne, Melissa, Renee, Genefer, Chris, and many additional family members, too numerous
to mention.
Mary graduated from Red Lodge High School in 1969. She attended St Vincent's school of
nursing and graduated as a registered nurse in 1972. Mary had an impressive 50-year career as
a nurse working at Beartooth Billings Clinic and Billings Clinic. Mary was well loved and touched
many lives with her compassion for caring for others. She was an active member of St. Agnes
Church and the Italian Victory Girls Club. Mary loved spoiling children and her family and
friends. Many members of the Red Lodge Community were touched by Mary's gentle spirit.
The family would like to thank Beartooth Billings Clinic for the tremendous outpouring of love
and support. Many have gone above and beyond to help Mary. A special thanks to Dr. William
Oley for his kind and gentle support in Mary's final days. Any memorials can be to St. Agnes
Church or Beartooth Billings Clinic.
Mary's last message was "Family is everything, whoever that is." She will be greatly missed.
