Becky Chouinard

July 20, 1975
September 16, 2008

          Becky was born July 20, 1975, in Riudoso, New Mexico, the daughter of John Joseph and Lynn Mallette (Jonas) Fernandez. They later moved to Big Piney, Wyoming, where she attended school and graduated from Big Piney High School with the class of 1993. Becky moved to Terry, Montana, in 1995, where she met the love of her life, Rod Chouinard. They moved to Glendive in 1996 and were married in Makoshika State Park on September 9, 1999. They were blessed with two beautiful children, Lydia Lynn in 2002 and Cale Louis in 2005. Becky had worked as the Clerk of City Court, for the past 2 years.
          Becky loved the holidays, especially St. Patrick's Day and Halloween. Halloween was her favorite holiday and she always enjoyed dressing the kids up, and herself too.
          Becky had a great love for animals, dressing up, shopping, going to races, and riding motorcycles. She also enjoyed fishing, camping, cooking, gardening, going to concerts and reading. She had been a member of the Lower Yellowstone Chapter of ABATE of Montana for over 13 years, and had served two different terms as Treasurer. Her greatest love of all was being around people, especially her two children.
          Becky was preceded in death by her father, John Fernandez and her maternal grandfather, Buck Mallette.
Becky is survived by her husband of 9 years, Rod Chouinard, of Glendive; her children; Lydia and Cal of Glendive; her mother, Lynn (Shayne) Jonas of Terry, her sister; Jennifer (Anthony) Schott of Duncan, South Carolina; her maternal grandmother, Donna Mallette of Wright, Wyoming; her paternal grandmother, Louise Fernandez of Mineral Hills, New Mexico, numerous aunts, uncles, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and many, many close friends.
            Becky brought a lot of joy to everyone. She did not want those left behind to be sad. She would want them to celebrate the good times they had with her, forget the bad, and remember her in her most vibrant times. The family thanks everyone who said a prayer or just had a good thought for her.


In Memory of
 
Nancy Dorwart
 
Born
December 23, 1953
Lampman, Saskatchewan
Passed Away
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

In June of 2006 and at the tender age of 52 God called Nancy Dorwart home to
be with Him. He had plans for her in heaven and needed her there. Nancy
was a member of the Prairie Winds from Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada and had
attended many of the ND Ladies Runs. She had a great outlook on life and
any time you'd see her the smile on her face would make you do the same.
It's a contaigous thing, that smile! She is missed greatly by the friends
and family that she left behind here on this earth but is thought of very
often.


In Memory of
Shawna's Mother
Judy Van Tassel
Died June 2006
     Judy was 66 years old when she decided to stop fighting the cancer that grabbed her 5 years before. When she found out, she decided to start going to the motorcycle Ladies ND ride with her daughter, Shawna.

      Her first ride bitch was after major abdominal surgery! She REALLY was supprised at the support of all the motorcycle ladies. Like a second family, it kept her going. Life was like a motorcycle ride to her, you never know what is around the next bend in the road, but it was worth the ride to get there!

    It was always just mom and I since I was 3 years old. She taught me everything a father and mother would! She WAS my father and mother all rolled into one! My mother did everything from fly air planes to travel to Alaska (by herself back in the 1960's). We enjoyed camping and most of all sharing the last 5 years with her grandson (Joel). There is so much to say about this remarkable, beautiful lady... but to sum it up (Every one enjoyed Judy, she was an elementary teacher, archeologist, pilot, motorcycle enthusiast, camper, hiker, and made everyone laugh and enjoy life.) She always said she was still in her first childhood.

     At the end, the cancer got her nervous system. When the chemo, and other drugs were just too much (where life was no fun any more), she said (I am ready to see my mother and father in heaven). The last weekend we saw her, I placed her in the hospice hospital for pain control. She told me to go on my vacation with my family. I knew that she was letting me go. Her resting place is over looking the badlands where we camped every summer of my life... and to this day Joel, Dale and I camp. She has wild flowers, birds, bison and fresh snow for her to enjoy enterally.  
 
     Thank you for listening to me talk about mom. Losing her has been the hardest thing in my life. She lives on in each of the people she has met.    
Take care and ride safe,
Shawna "Sam" "Treefrog" Zastoupil
