Carlotta Fox

Carlotta Lou Huckobey “Thunderhorse” Fox of Deer Lodge, Montana and Blair, Nebraska, daughter of Anna Lou Jackie (Fox) Larsen and Carl Robert Huckobey and step-father Arnold E. Larsen, passed away Thursday, April 10th 2014 at Golden Living Center in Tekamah, Nebraska.  She was 69 years old.

Carlotta was born in Ardmore, Oklahoma in the year 1944.  When she was young, she moved to California with her mother who then met and married Arnold E. Larsen.  Carlotta then had a step-sister Dottie (Larsen) Dutton.  While attending Azusa High School in Azusa, California, she met and married Robert Charles Tibbetts who was born in Denison, Iowa.  Together, they had three children, Robert Charles Jr., Tyrrie Lynn, and Angelina Noel.

After receiving her GED, Carlotta worked as a LPN until she was in an automobile accident and sustained a traumatic brain injury.  After awaking from a month-long coma, Carlotta devoted her life to her children and family.  She loved deeply which had a lasting, positive impression on how to love and be loved.  She had a couple of marriages after Robert Charles Tibbetts; she married Edward R. Lampe in 1973 and divorced him in 1977.  She worked at Montana State Hospital in Warm Springs, Montana until she attended the University of Montana in 1981 where she studied accounting and art.  She worked as an artist with her own business drawing portraits until she moved to Blair, Nebraska in 2004.

During her time in Blair, she was ecstatic to learn that she had a half-brother, Rickie Foreman, from Oklahoma City.  While in Blair, her time, mission, and gift to her family became genealogy work.  She continued that work, skyping with Brother Rickie, until her health prevented her.  Shortly thereafter, she met in heaven those who preceded her in death:  her mother, fathers, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

The survivors who miss her include son Robert Charles Jr. of Great Falls, MT; daughters Tyrrie Lynn Tibbetts Solheim of Blair, NE, and Angelina N. Fox of Fort Collins, CO; aunt Nellie (Fox) Combe of Shawnee, OK; half-brother Rickie C.  Foreman of Oklahoma City, OK; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren (with one more on the way).  She is loved dearly.
