LaDeanne Amy Beller, age 55, passed away in her Stevensville home on July 1, 2024, after a relentless battle with cancer.
Amy was born the youngest of ten on July 22, 1968, in Choteau, MT to Don and LaDeanne Allen. She was raised in Fairfield, MT, where she was active in sports, music and school plays. She graduated as valedictorian from Fairfield High School.
Amy attended Brigham Young University in Utah for a year before deciding business classes and Japanese were not her favorite, then took a gap year in California where she met and married her sweetheart, Kevin Beller. Amy went back to school at Santa Rosa Junior College, studying Early Childhood Education while working at a preschool. She later opened up an in-home daycare once Kevin and Amy’s young family started.
Amy was heavily involved with the community. She was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where she held a variety of church callings. She participated in local sports leagues as an adult. She was an active parent in her children’s schools, where she was a member of the Parent Teacher Association, substitute teacher, volunteer and president of the booster club. She also found the time to support and cheer on her six children in year round sports.
Amy’s dream had always been to be a mother, and she felt that dream come true with the birth of each of her children: Brianna, Sionelle, Kadin, Cambrea, Jamyn and Kellan. She was, in her words, “living her dream and the luckiest momma in the whole wide world.” She was Mamy to three beautiful grandsons—Kylo, Killian, and Kalvin.
Amy was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Ethan, and a baby sister. She was survived by siblings Wain (Becky), Russ (Wendy) Lyle (Jan), Susan (Steve), Lynn (Linda), Sharyl, Cody (JT); sister-in-law Jill; husband Kevin; children Brianna (Niels), Sionelle (Thomas), Kadin (Hillary), Cambrea, Jamyn, Kellan; grandchildren Kylo, Killian, and Kalvin.
Amy Ellsworth Frantzich says
Rest in peace my friend.
When someone you love becomes a memory, memories become treasures. I shall treasure my memories of your kindness, your compassion, and your patience.
Until we meet again.
