On May 2nd, 2022, Darleen Faye Stump-Brown began her journey at the Billings Clinic following a brief illness.
Mom was born on August 8th, 1944, to Pete and Eleanor Stump in Havre Montana. Mom was part of a huge family and had seven siblings, Robert, Pete Jr., Keith “Keno”, Harold, Gordon, Ronald, and Edwina.
She grew up in the Rocky Boy area and attended schools there. Mom worked in the hospital systems in Havre where she met Archie Red Boy while he attended college, eventually they married. They had three children, Archie III, Sean, and Brandy. Mom and Dad moved to Poplar Montana and continued their lives there, where she began working for the Fort Peck Tribes. Mom and Dad later divorced but she stayed in Poplar and made it her home.
In 1991 she met Tom “Pudd” Brown. They married on June 11th 1994 and they maintained their relationship until she passed. Mom loved what she did with the tribes and especially loved her co-workers to the point where she would need to call her relatives and let them know how crazy they were. Mom loved to laugh and talk with people. In 2004, she cooked and fed the individuals that were taking part in the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Reenactment Voyage. But that’s how she was, very giving. She formally retired from the Fort Peck Tribes in 2017.
Mom is preceded in death by her parents, a special aunt Delilah Weeks, brothers Pete Stump, Harold Stump, Keith “Keno” Stump, sister Edwina Matte, her daughter Brandy Red Boy- Birdsbill, and numerous family members.
She is survived by her husband Tom “Pudd” Brown of Poplar, sons Archie (Debbie) Red Boy and Sean (Ashley) Red Boy both of Poplar, son-in-law Nolan Birdbill of Wolf Point, brothers Gordon (Bobbie) Stump of Salt Lake City Utah, Robert Stump and Ronnie Stump of Rocky Boy, grandchildren Bryton Red Boy, Collin Red Boy, Jayme Red Boy, Brett Red Boy, Matthew Red Boy, Alita Follette, and Wilfredo Sanchez-Birdsbill. A great-granddaughter Alchemey Red Boy and many other family members.
Darleen will be sorely missed by all that got to know her.

To the family of Darlene: sincere sympathy to the family. We knew Darlene for years. We remember when she and Archie were still together, and we also were there when she and Pudd got married. They got married in the backyard of Manny and Leta Melbourne. So sorry for the lose of Darlene, I will forever remember her. She was well liked by everyone who knew her. Rest in peace!
