Sharron “Gigi” Tallent, 58, of Martin City, left this earth to meet her creator on Oct. 17, 2022.

Gigi was born to Frank and MarryJane Boushie on Feb. 22, 1964, in Browning. She was the youngest of five children. She had a full life of adventures, always finding her way back home to Montana. It was in Martin City where she met Tory L. Tallent, married, and went on to have two children, Daphene and Frank.

Throughout the years Gigi was known for her amazing cooking, working a few places in the valley, and spending many years in the kitchen at Scotty’s.

Later in life she spent her time cheffing and traveling the oil fields cooking for Target Logistics man-camps, from North Dakota, Wyoming and Texas. Once in an article for the Desert News Publishing Company, July 11, 2011, she was quoted as saying “You got to be tough about it. You got to be strong-willed, strong minded. It’s a mindset to be here.” The six weeks on, two weeks off lifestyle was not for everyone, as she loved her family and friends dearly and missed them tons while away.

Gigi finally hung up her chef coat, and gypsy ways, moving back to Montana for the remainder of her life in 2021, enjoying life with her family and friends, where you could find her floating the river or at the lake and, attending barbecues in the summer, evening bonfires in the winter, going on back road scenic drives, being with her grandchildren, cooking for anyone who came by her home, listening to good music and having a frosty one with friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and MarryJane Boushie, sisters Lollie Boushie and Mona Gulbranson, niece Heidi Gulbranson, and nephew Tony Muller.

She is survived by her brother Frank Boushie, sister Gloria “Chic” Boushie, daughter Daphene Tallent, son Frank Tallent, her grandchildren she loved dearly, Tori, Nykolaus, Hailey, Wyatt, Frankie, her lovely Raylee, along with many other nieces and nephews and cousins.

“Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well-preserved body, but to rather skid in sideways totally worn out, shouting, “Are you sure hank really done it this way!?” — Gigi
