Alice Ruth Grubaugh Lyons Gaston

In loving memory of Alice Ruth Grubaugh Lyons Gaston.

Born to Charles and Edna Grubaugh of Park City, Montana on January 5th, 1924; she was the last of the eleven Grubaugh children to go home to the Lord on April 8th, 2020.

Throughout her lifetime, Alice enjoyed many things; hiking, fishing and hunting. But what she loved most was the company of friends, family and telling stories of times gone past, of a late-night watermelon theft and hot rocks under the sheets on a cold night.

She married her first husband Forest Fielding Lyons, and together their goal was to fish every stream in Montana. Sometime during their adventures, that plan changed, and the couple adopted their three sons; Frosty, Dane and Gordon. They continued to enjoy the outdoors and shared that love with their sons, until Forest's death.

Later in life she met her second husband Harold Gaston. They spent their time gardening, traveling and enjoying life as much as possible.

Alice was a woman of many talents and worked as a strawberry picker when you were paid a penny a pint. She was a wonderful cook, and a welder during the war. In her later years she enjoyed being a foster grandparent.

She is proceeded in death by her parents, all ten siblings, both husbands, her niece Peggy Lou and her granddaughter Roxie Hayes Rubio.

She is survived by her sons, Frosty, Dane (Dawn), Gordon (Rocky). Her grandchildren Dane Jr. (Donna), Joshua and David. Her great grandchildren; Deseray, Devin, Ezekiel, Danika and Zoey Lyons, a great great grandson Oliver as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
