On June 10, 2015 Ida Rose Tregear passed away. Although our hearts are filled with sadness at her loss, we find peace and joy knowing this special couple is together again. Ida was born to Stanley and Clara Ostoj in Dickinson, North Dakota on November 14, 1926. She spent her early years in Dickinson and Bowman, North Dakota before moving to Montana with her parents. There Ida found the love of her life, George Tregear and they got married on January 31, 1948. They had three children, JoAnn, George and Angel who passed away at birth. One of her fondest memories was raising her children with her husband at the beautiful Columbia Gardens. They built their home in the Columbia Gardens Residential area where they could hear the music of the rides, the laughter of the children playing and the music of the big band shows from their front yard. It was such a pleasure to watch the children, the grandson and the nephews and nieces come play and picnic at the park. Ida would always be busy cooking and baking. Everyone was always welcome and no one left hungry or empty handed. After retirement, Ida and her husband George did a lot of traveling. They especially enjoyed going to Nevada and Hawaii. Ida was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt.
