Barbara Toycen Amestoy

With the passing of a family member, mom would always say “one less spoke in the wheel,” meaning one less member in our family circle. It has now become her turn. Mom was a true Montana lady. Born in Kalispell and passing in Kalispell, she never wanted to call any place but Montana home. She marveled daily at the beauty and treasures Montana offered. She lived and loved the country life until she could no longer live alone.

Mom knew everyone. If she didn’t know you directly, she knew your dad, mom, uncle or cousin and she would recall their names and the last time she saw them.

“Gramma Barbie” spent many years as a wonderful grandma to BreAnna and Matthew Herron. She watched with pride as they grew into adulthood.

Barbara was the eldest daughter of Carl and Betty Toycen. She is survived by myself, Greg Herron her son, her sister Carla Kahn, grandchildren BreAnna and Matthew Herron, a great-granddaughter due in June and a niece, Kelly Grant.

Heaven will be a little brighter and a little nicer with the addition of God’s newest angel. We love you mom.

Services will be March 28 at 1:00 pm at Buffalo Hill Funeral Home, 1890 Hwy 93 North, Kalispell.
