On September 30, 2024, Taylor Sidell Trowbridge passed away at the Montana State Nursing Home in Lewistown, MT. Taylor was 74 years old.
Taylor “Sid” Sidell Rhoads was born April 3, 1950, to Frank “Dusty” Howard Rhoads and Mary Mae (Hall) in Miles City, Montana. She was the second oldest of eight children. She lived with her family until she was about 6 and was sent to Boulder, MT to a boarding school. When she was about 19 years old, she had her first daughter, Dianna, who was born in Helena while staying with her sister Mary. She then returned to Boulder for a short time, before moving back to Miles City, MT in 1970.
She met Marion Henry Pratt and they went to North Dakota to marry. They were married for 10 years. To this union two daughters were born, Deloris “DeeDee” and Susan “Sissy”. They lived in Miles City and Glendive. They did separate and divorced in 1980. She then married Raymond Trowbridge and they lived in several places including Copenhagen, Cascade and Vaughn in Montana.
After the death of Raymond, she moved to Billings until she needed extra care and was moved to Lewistown to live in the nursing home.
She loved pugs and all other small dogs. She enjoyed doing word searches in her spare time. In her younger years she loved playing softball while living in Vaughn. On her many adventures she loved visiting and making new friends. There was no such thing as a stranger.

Sending my sincere condolences to Sid’s family. I worked with her at MMHNCC. She could be quiet around new people but once we learned we were from Miles City & Glendive, respectively, she decided I was “okay.” I called her Sis & she liked that. She is already missed.
