Vilene lived and grew up in Billings, she was full of life & always enjoyed her family and friends' company. She made us laugh & would crack the silliest jokes and was very spontaneous. She was a hard worker and would help family & friends in any which way she could. She helped take care of her sister Julia's children and her brother's JRs children along with her adopted children like they were her own.
They loved her to the fullest, she was there by their sides through thick & thin and to even just listen, she was there. She made very good friends wherever she went. Vilene was kind-hearted with a big vibrant soul and would give the shirt off her back. She worked for the Union, she traveled to different places in Montana and out of state to work. She would always put together social gatherings just to bring everyone she loved together. She loved the outdoors and especially loved fishing.
