Ramona M. Amundson

Ramona “Mona” Mae (Bedwell) Amundson, 73, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 14, 2025, at Francis Mahon Deaconess Hospital, surrounded by loved ones. Mona was born on October 1, 1952, in Glasgow, Montana to Jay and Ruby (Beauchman) Bedwell. She was the oldest of five children.

In 1972, Mona was introduced to James Amundson by his brother Terry. They took a liking to each other and were married on March 3, 1973. They resided in Glasgow raising their family, son Kory and daughter Chantelle.

In 1985 they moved to Denver, where Jim worked for the phone company. In 1990, Jim went to work for Nemont Telephone in Wolf Point. They eventually made their way back to their hometown of Glasgow.

Mona went on to work at many different jobs. Each of the jobs she worked had one common theme….helping others.

Mona was always involved in the communities they lived in. She served on several local and state boards. She Co-Chaired Relay for Life for many years. She was manager for Job Service in Wolf Point and Glasgow, retiring in 2010.

Mona was active in her church, serving on multiple teams, church council, and helping with Sunday school and confirmation classes.

Mona was diagnosed with terminal cancer in February 2019. She began treatments, but Mona’s attitude towards life never wavered. She embraced it! This amazing woman, with the beautiful smile and infectious laugh, did more in the last six years, than most do in a lifetime. She loved unconditionally and always asked how everyone else was doing, right to the very end. She was our hero.

Mona is survived by son Kory Amundson, daughter Chantelle Amundson, grandchildren Bo (Sarah) Amundson, Chantaya Amundson, Brody and Piper Amundson; great-grandchildren Violet and Scarlett; sister Monica (Chuck) Garten, brother Jason (Misty) Morehouse, sisters-in-law: Kathy Bedwell, Marilyn Smith, and Nancy (Dan) Jimison; many close nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Mona was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years Jim; parents Jay and Ruby Bedwell; brothers, Jim Bedwell and Shane Kidder; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A celebration of Mona’s life will be held Friday, November 21, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at the First Lutheran Church in Glasgow, Montana. A reception will follow. Burial will be in Highland Cemetery.
