Janet Lynn Bowen

Janet Lynn Bowen: A Life of Dedication, Drive, and Unwavering Love

Janet, a true native of the Anaconda area, was born to Alma Kenneth and Cora May Schofield. Her life was rooted firmly in Opportunity, Montana, where she resided for her entire life, a testament to her steadfast nature and deep connection to her community.

She was a proud member of the Anaconda High School graduating class of 1970. That same year marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership, as she married the love of her life, Evan Bowen, on June 20th. Together, they built a family, welcoming two beloved daughters: Miranda in 1975 and Kymberleigh in 1977. Janet’s final journey led her back to her beloved Evan; she passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by the family she cherished.

Janet's work ethic was evident from a young age. During her high school years, she dedicated her time to serving as a Candy Striper at the local hospital and working at Lou’s Drive Inn. Following her marriage, she embarked on a career that would define her professional life, initially joining the Anaconda Post Office as a relief rural mail carrier. Her dedication and reliability soon earned her the permanent position of Rural Mail Carrier.

Her route was extensive, demanding over 80 miles of driving each day across the winding back roads of Anaconda, Lost Creek, Galen, East Side Road, and Opportunity. She became a familiar sight, delivering everything from the occasional dreaded bill and long-awaited personal letters to crucial checks and, on rare occasions, even live animals.

The early days of her career showcased her ingenuity. With no right-hand-drive vehicles available, she improvised, sitting in the middle of her distinctive red Subaru, affectionately nicknamed "Subby." She navigated the vehicle, operating the gas and brake with her left foot and steering with her left hand, all while efficiently delivering mail out the passenger side. Her determination paid off when she finally managed to acquire a custom right-hand-drive car, ordered specially from as far away as New York, significantly streamlining her daily duties.

Janet's mail car was more than just a means of transport; it was a vessel for family and memories. Her family fondly remembers riding along, listening to the music of Kaytee Oslin cranked up as they traversed the countryside.

The most cherished memories revolve around the annual Christmas Eve tradition. Knowing the importance of delivering the holiday cheer, Janet always worked on Christmas Eve. But she turned the grueling workday into a festive, highly-anticipated family event, allowing her children and grandchildren to "help" deliver the massive influx of mail and packages—” Haggland, package for Haggland!”

This operation required military-like precision. Janet would map out a route for two separate carloads, often pitting two halves of the family against each other in a friendly race. Piling a family of ten into two cars was a challenge, but Janet, ensuring the young grandchildren had the prime spot, would take one car while the older children and Dad managed the other. This cooperative, bustling endeavor was considered the true start of the holiday season. Her generosity extended beyond her own family; one year, she personally ensured every single child on her route—whether a permanent resident or just visiting—received a hand-delivered candy cane.

Janet was known for her fiercely determined and assertive personality. She was a woman who knew precisely what she wanted, meticulously planned how to achieve it, and enlisted the necessary help to see her goals realized. While this unwavering drive sometimes earned her a reputation for stubbornness, those who truly knew her understood the profound purpose behind her persistence. Once her goals were met, her generosity was quiet but impactful. She supported her community without seeking acknowledgment, prioritizing shopping local, and was steadfastly devoted to the needs of her family.

When not working or coordinating family life, Janet embraced the rugged Montana outdoors. She had a passion for fishing and loved exploring on four-wheelers with her family, especially with close friends Tammy and Dan. She enjoyed the tranquility of walking with her friend Chris Field and the adventure of family camping trips. She and Evan shared the thrill of riding motorcycles, and she was always ready for a bit of excitement at the slot machines.

In her later years, Janet and Evan discovered a shared, truly impressive talent: remodeling houses. This creative endeavor became a true passion, showcasing their cooperative spirit and skill.

Janet leaves behind a powerful legacy of dedication, community spirit, and an enduring, fierce love for her family. She is survived by her devoted daughters, Miranda (Shawn), and Kymberleigh, her cherished grandchildren, Cassie (Bryan “Mo”), Dex, Tyler (Bailey), and Randi. Great-Grandchildren: Melleah, Stetson, Ella, Evan, Levi, Kolt, and Sterling. She is preceded in death by her husband Evan, her parents, her sisters: Peggy and Jay, her brothers- in-law: Wally, Bud, Elmer, and Lewis, Nephew Ray, and her father-in-law William and Mother-in-Law: Pearl. Numerous friends and relatives whose lives she enriched. Her memory will be a lasting source of strength and inspiration.

Celebration of Life for her and her beloved Mr. B will be announced at a later time; Per their wishes.

XOXO, Momma.

John Walter Baird

John Walter Baird passed away on February 20, 2026, in Anaconda, Montana, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

John was born in Butte, Montana, on June 27, 1946, the third child and only son of Walter and Irene Baird. With his parents and sisters Beverly ("Sweet") and Sue, he grew up in Centerville and graduated from Butte High School. In 1964, John enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served during the Vietnam War on the USS Davidson. After being stationed in several ports, he was honorably discharged in 1970.

While residing in Butte, John met and married his perfect counterpart, Cheryl. They were married in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on May 24, 1976, and would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in just three months.

John owned JB Furnace Service after retiring from Montana Power as a gas serviceman for Anaconda and the surrounding area. Prior to his transfer to Anaconda in 1989, he was the West Line Welder while residing in Absarokee and then Bridger, Montana. In 1998, Montana Power recognized John for achieving 20 years without a lost time accident. In every job or endeavor, John was well respected for his work ethic and skill. His special combination of honesty and wit earned him friends everywhere he went. Even though there are too many close friends to name, they're unlikely to ever forget all their good times with John.

Over the years, John's passion for the outdoors led him to pursue many activities, and he excelled at skiing, hiking, bicycling, and fly fishing. In years past, he enjoyed fishing Montana’s rivers on his raft. He inspired his friends and family to become more active. In later years, John took up woodworking and was extremely particular in the unique items he created. Being an avid reader gave John a depth of subjects to discuss – name nearly any subject, and John had probably become a semi-expert of his own accord, though he was always humble in his knowledge.

John is survived by his wife, Cheryl, who became his “angel” throughout his medical battles. He will also be dearly missed by his sister Sue (Mel) Gardner, sister-in-law Carol (Kevin) Reed, brother-in-law Steve (Tammy) Wham, nephews Ron (Tammi) Gardner, John (Lydia) Gardner, Joe (Laurie) Schwartzenberger, Daniel Kindred, Derek Wham, and Dustin Wham. Nieces include Beth (Jerry) Sullivan, Julie (Ted) Connors, Krystal Kindred, and Jenna (Sam) Dennis, as well as several great-nephews and great-nieces. “Uncle John” was a common phrase heard in his family. John was preceded in death by his parents, Walter Lyle and Irene Lasky Baird and his sister Beverly “Sweet” Schwartzenberger.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

John's family will receive friends from 3-5pm on Friday, March 6, 2026, in the reception hall of Longfellow Finnegan Riddle Funeral Home, 107 Oak St., in Anaconda. All of John's friends are invited to gather in remembrance of him.

May “Whistlin’ John” rest in peace. We are certain he is now carrying a happy tune somewhere in Heaven with his buddy Benny Corrigan.

Dean Oliver Staton

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear husband and father, Dean Oliver Staton. Dean passed away at the Anaconda Community Hospital on Friday, February 13, 2026.

He was born in Missoula, Montana, March 26, 1941, to Herbert Olin and Mamie Margaret (Stumvoll) Staton. Dean attended local Anaconda schools and graduated from Anaconda High School in 1959. He attended University of Montana Western in Dillon Montana, earning a bachelor’s degree in education. He taught industrial arts, math and drivers’ education. He especially loved coaching football and track.

On July 15, 1967, Dean married the beautiful Mary Ann Kovacich. From this union, three daughters were born: Margaret Ann, Dianne Marie and Linda Sue. They were married for 59 years.

In 1971, Dean and family moved back to Anaconda from Eastern Montana to be closer to family and work at the smelter. In 1981, after the smelter closed Dean had various jobs around town. He was the proud owner of Anaconda Archery shop for many years.

Dean had almost too many hobbies to mention. Recently, he became a poet writing the “Epiphany of Three” of which he was very proud of and shared with many people. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, tinkerer, inventor, mechanic, and beekeeper. He loved fishing, reloading ammunition, making jams and jellies, smoking fish, machining parts, and gardening. He had a brilliant mind and his passion was reading, and more reading!

He also was a singer and talented musician mastering the banjo and guitar. He was a band member of the Ivy Leaguers and the Renegades, whom had a record recorded. He was a man of so many talents and brutally honest. His mind was sharp as a tack, and he was still cracking jokes till the end. Many neighbors, family and friends consulted him frequently on figuring out complex problems like math equations, inventions and projects. It’s hard to describe his life in a few simple paragraphs.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Mary Ann and daughters: Margaret (Steve Lott), Dianne (Nick Detmer), Linda (Ray Beck). He is also survived by two beautiful granddaughters, Anneliese and Katrina Detmer; brother and sister-in-laws: Andrew John and Carole, Joe, Mike and Willene Kovacich. Along with many adored nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents Herbert and Mamie Staton; his infant brother, Keith Leroy; in-laws Andy and Barbara Kovacich; and two sisters-in-laws, Betsy and Sharon Kovacich.

Thank you to the Anaconda Community Hospital for their loving care in helping our dear husband and father pass over. Special thanks to Dr. Como, Leann Smith and the entire medical staff.

Calvin Dean Stanley

On the morning of January 24th at 7:15 AM Dad peacefully entered eternal rest from natural causes. He was with Family and Friends until his passing.

Dad was born at home in Stevensville, MT on February 16th, 1935 to Jesse (Smith) and Luther Stanley. He grew up in the Bitterroot Valley; namely in the Corvallis and Stevensville areas with siblings Hope, Rod, Gary and Linda. 3-year-old sibling, Leroy passed in 1941. Dad graduated from Corvallis High in 1953 at which time he relocated to Anaconda and went to work for the Anaconda Company. Also, in 1953 he met our Mother Carolyn Ruth (Stavanja) Stanley at the El Rancho Drive Inn which resulted in them going “steady” until Mom’s passing in 2012. Mom and Dad married on October 20th, 1956. Of this union; 2 sons were born, Michael Lynn and Kevin Curtis.

Dad worked for the Anaconda Company at the Smelter and Opportunity ponds for 32 years; spending 6 years in the Phosphate Dept. then went to the “Coal Pile”. He became a heavy equipment operator, running cranes, bulldozers, graders and payloaders. A couple of the notable things he did amongst being a very hard worker were helping erect the Annual Christmas Tree at the Kennedy Commons for many years and setting large beams during construction of Georgetown Lake Lodge using his crane operating skills. One of the cranes he operated, “The #5” sits at the gate entering the Old Works Golf Course in Anaconda. After the Smelter closed in 1980, Dad was one of the 8 men remaining and they did endless cover / reclamation work in “The Ponds”. That work took over 5 years to complete. He then moved with his skills to the molybdenum and copper loadout at Montana Resources in Butte for another 12 years, retiring Jan 1, 1998.

Dad had many interests in his lifetime. He worked especially hard at keeping the family home in great repair and the yard was always immaculately kept. He enjoyed snowmobiling, fishing, hunting and bowling over the years. He was also there to lend a helping hand, buck a bale or simply answer the call to contribute in helping our neighbors and friends in Opportunity.

Dad was fiercely protective of Mom and us Boys. Dad was a coach of the OVFD / Tuss Oil little league team for several years. He also spent many hours and countless trips to Stevensville helping our grandmother. In his retirement he rode “shotgun” and assisted Kevin with many of his duties at Granite Amusement. Dad truly loved our Cocker Spaniel, Muffin. Over the years he had many other animals with Shadow, Bozo, Chucky and Gus Gus. He also loved Mike and Gayle’s Boston Terriers Bella and Emee; Kevin’s multitude of critters including Jake, Rocky, Zeek, Zorro, Precious, Scout, Duke, Kimmbr, Bella, Fred, Figaro, Skye Blu and an orange tabby; Jesse (after our Grandmother Jesse). It was a nightly occurrence that he had to check sometimes seemingly half a dozen times to make sure our animals were inside and safe for the evening.

Dad and Mom thoroughly enjoyed their summer trips to Colorado to see Mike and Melissa and in 1977 we joined Mike in being Denver Broncos fans. Over the years Dad was a 30-year member of the Opportunity VFD, 50 plus year member of BPOE 239 and member of the Opportunity Community Club. He also served in the Army Reserves 796th Ordinance for 6 years with notables being a long-time friendship with Les Frank and they served with Robert “Evel” Knievel. Another of Dad’s favorite pastimes was walking to the “Store”; Solan’s Grocery in Oppor for the “Coffee Club”. Many stories, exaggerations, good company and treats were enjoyed.

Calvin is survived by his sons, Kevin and Mike (Gayle) of Anaconda and his “baby sister” Linda Reeder of Lolo, Grandchildren Melissa Stanley, Courtney Prosenick (DJ, Owen, Griffin and Liam), Trina Kent (Garrett and Ryker), Chris Forsman (Bobby and Blake), Sarah Grover (and sons, Timmothy, Jonas, Alex and Zak) Kori Robbins, Trevor Robbins, Cassandra Mann (daughter Amelia Crist) and many Nieces and Nephews. Surviving Cal as well, are dear friends Bill and Judy Fink, Stephanie Van Kirk, Kira Mott, Vicki and Leonard Ross and Donna Bahr.

Dad is preceded in death by his parents Jesse and Luther, Wife Carolyn, Sister Hope, Brothers Leroy, Rodney and Gary. Mother and Father-in-Law Anthony and Violette Stavanja, Sisters in Law Mary Ann and Nancy Stavanja, Brother-in-law Billy Stavanja and Nephew Rick Stavanja. Many happy Heavenly reunions took place on the morning of January 24 with Family and countless close friends that passed before him.
