Lillian Beatrice Bruguier Christian passed away on March 10, 2023 in Wolf Point, Montana. She was born September 17, 1932 in Wolf Point, Montana to Elsie Miller and Leo Charles. Lillian grew up in Wolf Point as the fourth child of six children. She attended schools in Wolf Point and graduated from Wolf Point High School in 1950.
After high school, she got married and started her family. During the course of raising her family, she started her 10-year career in the healthcare field as a nurses aid at Faith Lutheran Home and Trinity Hospital. After working in healthcare, she embarked on a 48-year career with the Fort Peck Tribes. Her first job was with the head-start program as the Health and Nutrient Coordinator for 9 years. She then transferred to the planning department to work as the planning coordinator for 3 years.
Lillian then started work with the Tribal Maintenance Department as a secretary. She eventually worked her way up to the Director of Maintenance and retired after 20 plus years of work here.
Retirement, however, wasn’t a good fit for her. She soon went back to work again. This time, she started her career with the Fort Peck Tribes in the CHR Department as a driver and eventually worked her way up to being the program supervisor. After 8 years with the CHR Department, she decided it was time for her to have her final retirement at the age of 85 years old.
Lillian is preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Matilda, Emily and Joyce; brother, William; sons, Desmond and Forrest; and grand-daughter, Jessee.
She is survived by her brother, Forrest Bruguier; her son, William Eder, Jr., Eric Bruguier, Neil Tayler, and adopted son, Will Morey; numerous grand-children and great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews.
