On Wednesday, February 6, 2019, Velma Marie Nightgun Falcon, AKA Tiny, 84, passed away. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to use “ He only takes the best.”

There will also be a Rosary at the Glacier Homes Community Center Wednesday, February 13 ~ 7pm with the Funeral Service to take place at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 14th at the Little Flower Parish.

Velma was born on May 25, 1934 in Browning, MT to parents George Nightgun and Clara Vielle-Nightgun. She was the third oldest out of six children, having two sisters and four brothers.

Back in the oldin’ days it was expected of the child to stay home and help her mother with the household duties.

With only a 7th grade education, Velma managed to excel turning into a self-educated brilliant woman.  What Velma did not know how to do she researched.

Her first language is her Blackfoot tongue with English being her secondary. Velma’s story sounds like that of a Cinderella story, which it was as she even got the happy ending with her prince charming.
