In Memory Of

Melvin L. Vegge, age 82 of Glasgow, Montana

February 15, 1939 – January 28, 2022

Melvin LeRoy Vegge, 82, of Glasgow, Montana passed away January 28, 2022.

He was born February 15, 1939 in Glasgow, Montana to Arthur and Thelma (DeDobbeleer) Vegge.  He attended and graduated from Glasgow Schools.

On June 30, 1961 he married the love of his life, Betty Fassett. He worked for the Great Falls Tribune as a district manager in Glasgow until he relocated to Havre in the early 1970’s.  He also farmed in Glasgow while living in Havre.  In the early 2000’s the couple made the move back to Glasgow to help his parents with the family farm and be closer with family.

Melvin enjoyed woodworking, bird watching, going for coffee and drives.  A special place for him to go on his drives was the Bear Paw Mountains.  He loved spending time with his family and friends.  Melvin had a very strong faith and was very active in First Lutheran Church where he ushered faithfully for years and served on the church council.  He was active in Car Club and Sons of Norway.  In his younger days he was active in Optomist, Jaycees and served as a representative for the Farmer’s Union, a group that he was active in for years.

Melvin is survived by his children: Dan (Cindy) Vegge of Glasgow, Trina Vegge of Glasgow and Julaine (Corey) Cook of St. Marie; grandchildren: Chaz Kolski, Brandin Kolski, Dylan Hernandez Taylor (Courtney) Cook, Tanner (Emily) Cook, Levi Cook and Leksi Cook; two  great-grandchildren and brother-in-law,  Skip (Roxie) Fassett.

Preceding him in death is his wife Betty Vegge, brother, Larry “Skip” Vegge and his parents, Arthur and Thelma Vegge.

    Prayers to the family at this time of sorrow. Whenever I think of Mel I see his million dollar smile, and I’m going to remember that smile the rest of my days.

    Both Betty and Melvin were saints. When I was in Havre at college they would come pick me up and have a great meal for me, I’ll always be grateful for that time with them,. Kind of thought that his voice was like a norweigan for shire
