Ethelene Violet WhiteHawk DeMarrias, age 74, passed away Sept. 26th, 2024. Mom was born in Poplar, MT on April 17th, 1950 to Matthew DeMarrias and Jessie (McKay) Feather. She was raised in Brockton & N Fort Kipp.
She was a hard worker until the day she left us. She was the Brockton HeadStart bus driver from 1973-74. Later, she moved to Fort Kipp then worked one year at the Culbertson Hospital. She also worked at the Ft. Peck Commodities for several years. But most of all, Mom loved working at the Brockton School. She started as a dish washer, then moved up to head cook for 34 years. She fed so many kids. No matter where she went, she always ran into someone she had fed. They would hug her and tell her what food they miss from her. In 2021, she retired because of health reasons.
She loved to play bingo at Silver Wolf Casino & meet new friends. She really looked forward to Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
