Throughout her life, Pinkie was a loving mother, an enduring friend and an entrepreneur, who ran businesses ranging from selling her delicious, aromatic pies to operating a cinema. She was known for her generosity and kind heart, offering help and support to many in need. Her smile and sense of humor brought warmth and love every day to those close to her and to her many friends, employees and customers. For more than two decades, Pinkie operated the Empire Twin movie theatre in downtown Livingston, Montana, surrounded by friends and co-workers, bringing the magic of movies to a town known for its passion for Hollywood and film. Pinkie took great pride in the quality presentation and operation of the cinema, enjoying both the camaraderie of the employees and friends who help make the Empire Twin a special place for Park County residents and the many visitors to the Yellowstone region. Prior to her time in Livingston, Pinkie raised her children in Opportunity, Montana. She grew up in the Butchertown community and on Montana Street in Butte, Montana, where she graduated from St. Mary's Catholic School and Butte High School.
