On Friday, May 28, 2021, Laurelle Lyn Green, a loving mother of six children, passed away at the age of 34.
Laurelle, the daughter of Dani Green, was born September 8, 1986 at the Poplar Hospital. She was given the Indian name, “Holy Breath Woman” which was passed down to her by her grandmother Rozelda (Blackdog) Loans Arrow. She grew up mostly with her cousins, Thena Epps, Reannon BlackDogBear, Roger Running Bear Jr., and Edith Youpee in the Fort Kipp and Culbertson, MT area. She attended school and graduated from the Brockton Highschool in Brockton, MT. Laurelle worked various jobs, which included working as a clerk in the Prosecutor’s Office and at Tribal Express for the Fort Peck Tribes. She worked at Walmart in Williston, ND, and at Albertsons in Wolf Point, MT. Laurelle also worked at the Poplar Hospital as a CNA and a Dietary Aide in the kitchen. Her most favorite place of employment was Sidney Sugars where she also received her CDL license.
Laurelle was a very fun and loving person, who enjoyed spending time with her daughters, Devyn, Daija, DeMya, Rosslyn, Royal, and her only son Roman. Some of her favorite things to do were cruising around and hanging out with her friends and family. She had a good, close, relationship with her mother, Dani and brother Landis Green, also her nephews, Keenon and Draven Green. Laurelle was a generous and kind woman, who would not hesitate to help anyone out if they asked for it. She thought very highly of all her relatives and was not afraid to show her love and how much she cared for them. Laurelle had a smile that would light up the room when she walked in, with a bright, loving personality. She is loved by many and will be missed by many.
