Annette Lucille Gobert

Annette, 82, of Missoula, passed away Monday, Aug. 12, 2013, at St. Patrick Hospital after a long hard struggle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Annette was born on Dec. 18, 1930, to Ethel and Charles Stein in Salem, Mo. At the very young age of 2, her family moved to Montana and she pretty much stayed here for the next 80 years.

She retired from the U.S. Forest Service in 2010 from the job she loved the most in life. If she was able she would still be working today.

Annette is preceded in death by her late husband, Marvin; her parents; her brother, Derrill Stein; her sisters, Marjorie Plank and Clarice Kimes. She is survived by her children, Karin Wolff, Chuck (Karen) Dixon of Missoula, Luann Dixon of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Michelle (Fred) Schaefer of Missoula and Nancy (James) Wickham of St. Regis; 14 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.

Per Annette's wishes cremation has occurred and the family will celebrate her life in a memorial at a later date.
