Trilva “Tril” Jean Angelos, age 91, of Great Falls, passed away May 6, 2018 from Leukemia at Peace Hospice Benefis. At the time of her diagnosis she was given only a short two weeks, but she stretched that to eight weeks being the sassy fighter that she was. She was surrounded by the love of many family and friends during these last few weeks. Tril was born November 1, 1926 to Martin and Laura Goddard in Malad, Idaho. She spent the great deal of her life in Salt Lake City where she graduated from South High School and attended the University of Utah where she was active in her Sorority and studied Elementary Education. She later worked as a realtor and a secretary, but mostly was a busy stay at home mom after they moved to Portland in 1964. She married Bill Angelos in August of 1946 and they were blessed with 5 children. They later divorced. She is survived by her sons, Jeff and Laury both of Phoenix, Arizona, and Kerry of Boise, Idaho (grandsons Vinnie, Tony, and Sam); daughter Kelly Timmer (Kirk) (grandchildren Ty Timmer (Jessica) and great-granddaughter Taya and newborn great-granddaughter due in June, Trace Timmer (Fiance Tessa Olivier), and Trevan Timmer, all of Great Falls, Montana); her close, special friends and family, Jenniffer Cunningham, Esther Conder, Michelle (Angelos) Thomas, and Jacque Angelos; niece Pam Broadwater; and adopted granddaughter/close friend, Allison Wilkins. Tril was preceded in death by her parents; siblings; ex-husband, Bill; son Bill Jr.; and grandson Tyler age 8 of cancer. She loved watching all kinds of sports and was an avid Portland Trailblazers and Oregon Ducks fan. She especially enjoyed following her children’s athletic events and in one year she logged 30,000 miles on her car traveling to watch her daughter, Kelly play basketball for Montana State University. She also loved to bowl and play bridge. She went to nationals many years with her bowling team. She was a member of the LDS Church and also attended Victory Christian Church. Tril was a joy to all who knew her. She was the true definition of a classy lady. Tril was always dressed to the hilt with hair and nails done and jewelry to match. She was so naturally beautiful that she didn’t need make-up, but she loved her lipstick. Her sassy nature and one-liners will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace beautiful lady. You will be missed.
