telephone, calling friends and family on what seemed like a definite schedule; and would visit for hours if she had a chance. A practical jokester,
people were never sure whether she enjoyed it more when she tricked others, or when they tricked her!
Carla is survived by five children: Trisha and her husband Pat Greff, of Redstone; Shane and his wife Stefanie Kelly, of Plentywood; Sara Tombre, of
Glendive, Montana; and a daughter and a son. She is also survived by 7 of her 8 siblings: Vernon Fester, Jr, who lives in Idaho; Rick, Allen, and
Raymond Fester, all of Miles City; Marla and her husband Alan Nordhagen, of Westby; Brenda Howell, of White Sulphur Springs, Montana; and
Sandie Fester and her fiancee Truman Hackmann, of Plentywood.
She was preceded in death by her parents and by two brothers, Ron and Jerry. Fulkerson Funeral Home of Plentywood has charge of arrangements.
