ISABELLE ‘CISSY’ LEVAY

On February 19, 2005 God shined down his magnificent light and lit the path to heaven for Cissy LeVay where she was once again reunited with family and friends who have come full circle into God’s kingdom. Mrs. Isabelle “Cissy” LeVay was born on November 19, 1920 in Poplar to George and Julia Christian. She attended schools in Brockton and Poplar, MT. Cissy married the love of her life, Pete LeVay on December 3, 1938. Eventually they made their home in Poplar and together they raised three children. She enjoyed life, her family and friends. One of her hobbies was fishing and being outdoors. In her early years, she was president of the Indian Women’s Home Demonstration Club. During World War II she was a certified welder in Tacoma, WA. For her love of children, she became a Headstart teacher and also a teacher’s aide at the Poplar School. For many years she was a member of the Catholic ladies alter society. She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, five brothers, and an eldest son Frank. She is survived by her husband of 66 years Pete, her son Don (Bonnie) LeVay, one daughter Debbie (Gerald) Johnson, a brother Phil (Olive) Magnan, and one of her best friends and daughter Mavis (Wayne) Failing. She had five grandchildren Ira (Karla) Ricker, Traci LeVay, Chuck (Kim) Johnson, Jeri Ann (Chad) Smith, and eight great grandchildren, and her dearly loved nieces and nephews. Cissy chose the following individuals whom she dearly loved for her extended family: Zelma Mason, Maureen Greyhawk, Lonnie Iron Bear, Steve Greyhawk Sr., and Mathew Loves Him. Our wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend will be greatly missed. We know our Savior Jesus Christ holds her gently in his arms. Through her life, faith, love and trust in God her journey is now complete. All our LOVE FOREVER. Rosary was on Tuesday, February 22 at 7 pm at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Poplar.
