Catherine Madplume

RONAN — Catherine Madplume, 20, died on Feb.3, 2005, as a result of a homicide.

She was born on Jan. 11, 1985, to Wilbur and Carolyn (Malatare) Madplume at the Kalispell Regional Hospital.

Catherine loved to play basketball, hang out with her cousins, and friends and family. She loved going to powwows, playing stick game, and in her spare time she enjoyed beading, sewing, listening to music, and writing poetry.

She was a wonderful auntie and older sister to her younger siblings, and nephew, whom she loved very much. She always kept in touch with them. She missed them dearly when they weren't around. When her family would discuss the rights from wrongs, she would listen and never talk back.

She attended schools in Browning, Heart Butte, Ronan, and her greatest dream was to graduate, and she would have graduated this year in May with the class of 2005 from Two Eagle River School. Throughout her school years she was an honor roll student.

She was preceded in death by her father Wilbur Madplume; brothers Albert and Edward Madplume; grandparents, Fred Madplume, Catherine Old Rock, Tom and Louise (Andrew) Malatare; an auntie Violet Madplume, and her uncle Thomas Malatare.

She is survived by her mother Carolyn (Malatare) Madplume; stepfather Harold Calf Robe (Spotted Eagle); brothers Brian, Dean, and Fredrick Madplume, and Harold Calf Robe Jr.; sisters Violet Madplume, Shelly and Starla Calf Robe; aunties Wilma Aimsback, Rose Villa, Branna Andrew, and Harriet Malatare; uncles Pierre, Paul, Douglas and Louie Malatare, and Barney Finley; grandparents, SuSan (Lefthand) Dowdall, Mary (Pooyah) Lefthand, Frank Andrew, Fred and Beatrice Marceau, Melvin and Robert Madplume; great- grandmother, Louise Finley; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and all of her friends.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Mass was celebrated Tuesday in the St. Ignatius Catholic Mission. Burial was in the Jocko Cemetery
