Amy A Culbert age 94, who died of natural causes, was promoted to Heaven on January 19, 2007.  She was born in Ramey, MN. to Herb and Jessie Conant on November 25, 1912.  The family of 11 came to Montana part way by covered wagon and when mired in mud and unable to continue came the rest of the way by train to the area South of Glacier Park where they homesteaded on the banks of the Flathead River.  Amy attended grade school in Coram and High School and nurses training in Kalispell where she met George Culbert.  In January of 1935 they were married and they spent 23 years traveling while George was in the Navy.  These travels included China, Japan, the Philippines and Central America.

   Amy was a courageous young woman who was not daunted by fear as she traveled alone with Jo to be with her husband even in dangerous times of war in the 1930’s.  In 1958 George retired and they made their home in Seattle for 2 years and then moved to Big Arm in 1960 where George was in Real Estate.

   Amy loved her husband, family of 3 children and her extended family.  Her favorite things to do were gardening, sewing, camping, fishing and traveling.  She was always a hard worker but loved to have fun as well.
