Alice Guay Obituary
Alice Katherine Guay passed away on January 27, 2015.
Alice was born November 20, 1931 in Butte, Montana to James Allen and Elma (Pudas) Gilliland. She was baptized into the Lutheran faith. As a child, she lived near Crackerville at Stuart and attended elementary school at the one-room Gregson School until it closed. She then attended Junior High and High School in Anaconda and Butte, graduating from Butte High School in 1949.
Alice married Edward (Eddie) Guay on May 19, 1951 at St. John's Catholic Church in Butte. She and Eddie lived most of their married lives in Anaconda.
Bookkeeping/accounting was her life-long field of work. She was employed by Beall Lumber Company; then worked for many years with Robert G. Byington, CPA. She then worked for Anaconda-Deer Lodge County for 20 years in the finance department and the Clerk and Recorder office.
Alice loved outdoor activities including camping in Yellowstone Park, wildflowers, animals, traveling and skiing. In her younger years she enjoyed wilderness hiking and camping. In later years she enjoyed golfing, reading, crocheting, and watercolor painting.
Preceding her in death were her parents, her husband, Eddie, in September 2009, grandson-in-law Matt Facto, brothers- and sisters-in-law Morris Bryson, Harvey Guay, Homer and Lil Guay, Ovide and Velma Guay, George and Jeanette Guay, nephew Shaun Madden and nieces Christy (Madden) Olness and Reny (Madden) Roma.
Alice is survived by daughter Rebecca Guay and her husband Doug Buskirk of West Yellowstone; granddaughter Emily Radonich, Camarillo, California; sister Erma Bryson, Walnut Creek, California; sisters- and brother-in-law Veva Guay, and LaVonne and Bert Madden, all of Billings; cousin Helen Whitmas of Madison, Wisconsin; several nieces and nephews; and dear friend and neighbor Rita Grabofsky of Anaconda.
Alice had a kind and gentle spirit. Her faith was in knowing the moon finds its path across the heavens, the seasons know when to come and go, and the wildflowers return every spring.
Cremation has taken place. Graveside services will be held in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to Anaconda Project Care, the Copper Village Art Center or Pintler Pets would be appreciated.
