Yvonne Edna Chambers Guldborg, 82, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2023 at McCone County Health Center in Circle, Montana.

Vonnie was born March 18, 1940 in Ronan, Montana to Fred Chambers and Caroline Finkbeiner Chambers. In 1943, the family moved to a farm at Vida, Montana. In 1946, they moved to Circle, Montana. She attended school in Circle, graduating in 1958. She was very proud of the time she spent working at Chapin Drug in her younger years and also being a cheerleader for Circle High School athletics, a passion that continued up until her passing.

On July 6, 1958, she married the love of her life, Robert Guldborg of Brockway, Montana. Bob and Vonnie farmed alongside of Bob's brothers, forming Guldborg Bros., Inc. They had three children: Kari born in June 1960, Kurt born in May of 1966, and Kevin born in October of 1968.

She had many passions that we will remember her for including cooking (her famous cinnamon rolls), gardening, taking care of her yard and hundreds of annual flowers, teaching Sunday School, and attending all of her children's activities such as football, basketball, baseball and 4-H. She could often be found in the gym bleachers or on the hill above the baseball field keeping her own scorebook. She became a member of the Order of the Eastern Star in 1963. She spent hours preparing meals and taking care of the men that Bob hired to work the farm.

After the children were older, Bob and Vonnie enjoyed golfing, winter snowmobile rides with area friends, and traveling across the United States. She especially loved the opportunity to change out of daily work clothes into classy outfits and attend dances with friends. Vonnie and Bob also enjoyed being in the plays in Brockway in the late 1980s and being involved in the community.

In November of 1991, Bob, the love of Vonnie's life, suffered a stroke and life changed for the family, most notably for Vonnie. She spent 17 years making almost daily visits to the nursing home to help care for him, all the while ensuring that farming and ranching operations continued at Brockway. Vonnie continued to golf and travel with her friends as time allowed.

In her later years, her six grandchildren were the focal point of her life and she dearly loved each of them.

Vonnie was preceded in death by her husband, Bob; her parents, Fred and Caroline; her brother George (Barbara) Chambers; her sisters Pearl (Jim) Kucera and Delores (Bill) Westrum; brothers-in-law Tom Guldborg and Kenneth Guldborg. She is survived by her daughter Kari (Darryl) Wagner of Billings and daughters Jena Lee and Jordyn Lynn (fiancé Ty Shockley); son Kurt (Brenda Willette) of Billings and daughters Maya (Lars) Larson and Laney (Nate Gerondale); son Kevin (Emily) of Brockway and daughter Laura and son Conner. She is also survived by sister-in-law Linda Guldborg and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many special friends. Vonnie was fortunate to have Joe and Ellen Paine to spend time with in the later years of her life to help her with daily tasks and provide friendship.

If desired, memorials can be made out to the McCone County Health Center, Glendive Medical Center, the First Lutheran Church of Circle or the charity of one's choice.
