March Lorraine Upham Sellars was born on March 11, 1947 and died on March 12, 2026. She was youngest of eight children; born to Donald William 'Doc' Upham and Eva Kathryn Guardipee Upham in Browning, Mont.
In her early high school years she shared her life with Margie and Harold and their kids, living with them in Brockton. She returned to East Glacier for her final high school years and graduated from Browning. March loved her music, the Supremes, Dionne Warwick, Lesley Gore, Petula Clark, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. When Margie and Harold would go bowling, March was the babysitter, she'd make popcorn, turn on the stereo, and everyone would dance. She was the 'fun' babysitter. She was more like an older sister than an aunt.
She and Peter married and Peter went to Vietnam. Prior to Peter being shipped to Vietnam, they lived in Monterey, Calif. March then moved to Helena to again live with Margie and Harold and their kids. She remained with them until Peter returned home from Vietnam. March and Peter spent the majority of their years in East Glacier.
March was an incredible artist with endless talent. Her charcoal work was definitely gallery worthy. She shared a lot of her artistic pieces as gifts to family members.
Dogs were March's love; she cared for her dogs with utmost care and respect. They have all been her companions over the years. For the years March and Peter lived in Bellingham Wash., Margie and Bill were always bailing her dogs out of doggie jail. Her St Bernard, Brandy, was notorious for escaping into the city. After her sister Margie died March took on the role of 'surrogate' Mother to Margie's kids. Even though all are grown, she still could make sure each were ok and doing what was best. She did weekly check in to see how each was doing.
March's husband, Gerald 'Peter' Sellars died April 23, 2023. Life was difficult after Peter died. It was a daily effort to get up each day without him. March and Peter were certainly lifelong mates.
One of March's last wishes was for all of us to gather for a Family Reunion 2026. She would say to let everyone know now so they could start saving and planning for a family gathering. We will gather in her honor.
March's parents Doc and Eva, both preceded her in death; siblings who have died prior to her were Lucille 'Fritzie' Fish, Donald 'Manny' Upham, Barbara 'Bobbie' Pepion, Marjorie 'Margie' Boyd-Young, Dennis Upham, and Galen Upham.
She has one surviving sister, Mary 'Tootsie' Powell of Cut Bank, Mont.; and many nieces and nephews, great and great-great nieces and nephew as well.
