Roberta Lynn "Bobbi" (Gilham) Adams, age 67, entered into the loving arms of God The Creator at the Billings Clinic and Health Center in Billings, MT on Sunday, June 17, 2018.

Bobbi was born October 7, 1950 in Browning, MT to Jewel Audrey (Salois) and Daniel Lloyd Gilham, Sr.   She attended Browning Public Schools, graduating from Browning High School in 1968. Furthering her education, she attended Haskell Indian Junior College in Lawrence, KS and eventually earned an Associate's Degree in office administration from the Billings College of Business. After receiving her degree, she began her long and successful career with the Indian Health Service, retiring in 2001 after 28 years.

On December 19, 1970, she joined her soul mate Maurice Gail Adams in marriage to which they celebrated 47 years together. To this beautiful union three children were born - Robert Conrad, Daniel John and Melinda Diane.

She lived most of her adult life in the Harlem area, ranching with her husband near Dodson in the early days of their marriage and then moving to the Fort Belknap Agency where she worked for the Indian Health Service. For a period of time, upon her father's passing, she spent two years in Browning caring for her dear mother.

Bobbi loved her family. Family always came first. She loved family game nights, family gatherings, spending time at the lake, spoiling her grandchildren and attending her children and grandchildren's school and sporting activities. Bobbi loved making gift baskets, tie blankets, and preparing her famous dishes for family gatherings. She dearly loved spending time at Gilham Cabin on St. Mary's Lake and at the Keller Ranch at Meriwether. Bobbi also enjoyed going on road trips with yard sale and casino stops. She will be especially remembered for pulling the "troops" together at family gatherings and throwing out orders to all in attendance. She was fondly referred to as "Sarge".

Bobbi journeys to Heaven leaving her beloved husband Gail, her sons Robert (Iris) Adams and Daniel "DJ" (Heather) Adams and her daughter Melinda (Brian) Hammett; her sisters Linda (Tony) Babcock, Paula (Jerry) Slyker, Stacey (Mark) Keller and Shonnie Gilham; her brothers Ronald (Janice) Gilham, Greg (Leslie) Gilham and Clarence (Kathy) Gilham; adopted daughters Annette "Netters" (JoJo) Wise and Blanche (Jason) Waggoner. She is also survived by her in-laws who she was very close to: Jacquie Gilham, Louis "Louie" Clayborn, Neil "Poose" (DeeDa) Adams, Francis "Cutt" Adams, Mary (Frank) Adams, Mel L. Doney and Nancy (George) Boushie. She adored and loved her grandchildren Seth Daniel Adams, Damon Robert Adams, LCpl Deion Jamison Hammett, Tyus Julius (Julia) Hammett, Eewuse "EJ" Joaquin Hammett, Nathan Allan Wiedow and her only grand-daughter Savannah Grace Adams. They were her world. She was also Godmother to her nieces and nephews, Amanda (Slyker) Stamm, Misty (Keller) Salois, Ronald "RB" Gilham, John First Raised and Taylor First Raised.

Bobbi is preceded in death by her parents Dan & Jewel; oldest sibling Elaine Clayborn, younger sister Colleen Faye Gilham and younger brother Daniel "Danny" Gilham, Jr..

Wake and rosary services were held at the Fort Belknap Community Center on Friday, June 22 ^nd with the funeral service following on Saturday morning, June 23 ^rd at the Harlem High School Gymnasium in Harlem, Montana. When the service was complete, Bobbi returned to her homeland with graveside services and internment at the Schildt Family Cemetery, Browning, MT and was followed by a memorial feed at the Stick Game Arbor.

Bobbi's family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Moore and the medical staff at the Fort Belknap Little River Health Center and at the Billings Clinic and Health Center - especially Drs. Pflug, Trostel and Lei for their care, help and support.

Much sincerity to all of Bobbi's and her family's friends and relatives who came to visit her at the hospital and who sent prayers and words of encouragement. Your thoughtfulness will forever be appreciated.
