' OBITUARIES NEWS
Vyonne Inez Cook
Vyonne Inez Cook passed away
in Billings, MT on September 23,
2020.
Vyonne (Vonnie) was born on
October 8, 1936 in Beach, ND to
Roy and Edelia Oech. She attended
Beach High School, graduating in
1954. She then attended Dickinson
State University, obtaining her'two—
year teaching certificate. Shortly
after she married Donald Kettner,
and they had four children. They
'lived and worked in Outlook, MT,
New England, ND then Glendive,
MT. After their divorce Vonnie
moved to Beach, ND before taking
her family to Missoula, MT so she
could continue her education. While
in Missoula she married Craig Cook
and they moved to Billings, where
she was employed in the business
office for Associated Engineers. She
then returned to school and obtained
a BS. in Business Administration,
then earned a Certified Public Ad-
ministration (CPA) license on her
first attempt. Vonnie worked for
several years as an accountant and
office manager, eventually opening
her own CPA business where she re-'
mained actively engaged until 2019.
Vonnie was a genteel woman
who seemed comfortable in a wide
array of situations; she was also al-
ways a professional who carried
herself with grace and style. During
her later years people often com-
mented on her beautiful smile, her
quick wit and her increasingly
sweet nature. She enjoyed her inde-
pendence as well as travelling (es—
pecially to Missoula and Red
Lodge), watching her beloved UM
Grizzlies play football, planting
flowers, and whipping up delec-
table delights in the kitchen for her
family. We will surely miss her ribs,
potato salad, stuffing, and Waldorf
stew! She was also a certified cat
lady, offering a loving home to a
multitude of Himalayan and
Siamese felines.
Vonnie was a member of Faith
Chapel, the American Society of
Women Accountants and was an
Outstanding MSU-B nominee.
Vonnie was preceded in death by
her parents Roy and Edelia. She is
survived' by her brother Darrel
(Gwen) Oech and her children A'u-
drey Nowlin, Lesley (Rod) Gibbs,
Mike (Stacie) Kettner, Pat (Sherri)
Kettner; six grandchildren (Kelsey,
Ryan, Beau, Callie, Dalton, Savan—
nah), five great—grandchildren
(R’Dell, Coraline, Kaden, Kash,
Sylvia), and her long-time feline
companion Thumper.
Per her wishes no funeral serv-
ices will be held, however a private
family burial will take place in
Beach, ND at a later date.

A review of advances in treatment of stroke
Weakness on one side of the body,
slurred speech, facial drooping, in-
ability to find or understand words;
these are symptoms of a stroke which
are typically sudden in onset. The
symptoms can be subtle, or they can
be severe.
Regardless, rapid diagnosis and
treatment is the key to recovery.
Not long ago, not much could
have been done for someone as they
were having a stroke. Often, we
could only wait and see how the pa-
tient recovered with rehabilitation.
For years, prevention was the only
tool we had to combat initial and re-
curring strokes. Preventative meas—
ures such as blood pressure control,
aspirin or other blood thinners, cho—
lesterol control, and of course, a
healthy diet and exercise remain es—
pecially important today. Thankfully,
we now have a few more options.
Clot-busting medications have
been a great advancement in the
treatment of strokes since the mid-
l990s. If administered soon enough‘,
sometimes these clot-busting med-
ications can work to break up a clot
By Dr. Andrew Ellsworth
that is blocking blood flow in an area
of the brain thus restoring circulation.
This can help to preserve or at least
minimize the area of the brain that
would be permanently damaged.
There are risks to these meds,
such as bleedingubut the'chance of
improving the outcome usually justi-
fies their use. To minimize risks, the
clot-busting medication must be ini-
tiated within three to four- and one—
half hours following the onset of
symptoms. Physicians also consider
other criteria before treating with
clot—busting meds, including the pa—
tient’s medical history, blood test re—
sulto, and. tl'icy must rule Out a
hemorrhagic stroke using CT imag-
ing of the brain. A hemorrhagic
stroke is when damage is done by a
ruptured blood vessel rather than
from blockage.
More recently, technological de-
velopments have changed the emer—
gent care offered for very severe
strokes. It is now possible to manu—
ally restore blood flow to the brain
using minimally invasive surgery. A
surgeon inserts a system of catheters
and wires into an artery in the arm or
groin, advances this system up
through the neck and into the brain.
Then, at the location of the blood
vessel blockage, the blood clot is re-
moved and the circulation to the af-
fected area is restored.
Highly specialized, this new pro-
cedure seems almost miraculous. It
has been referred to as the “Lazarus”
procedure as it literally brings people
back to life and sometimes immedi-
ate improvement is noted as soon as
during the procedure.
The keys are recognition and
time. Know the signs and et hel
quickly. Think nf um p
