Mabel Ann Lincoln

February 1, 1956 - January 26, 2025

Mabel Ann Lincoln went home to be with her Lord and Savior on January 26, 2025 in Hardin, MT., surrounded by her family and friends. Mabel Ann was born on February 1, 1956 to Francis Thunder Iron Lincoln and Emily Whiteclay Lincoln. She was born and raised in Crow Agency being the youngest of her 14 siblings. As an infant, she became the “special sister” that her family home had. With her special needs, her parents, siblings, and cousins all provided the love and attention until being sent to Boulder, MT to access better medical care in 1964, then was moved to East Mont in 1983, and was brought back home to Hardin, MT. Making her home at the Crawford Group home from 1988 to her passing. At this home of 31 years, she formed a special bond & relationship with Mary K Rogers, Rebecca White Clay, and Delauria Spotted Horse, along with all her staff and individuals that provided the love and care for our Mabel Ann. 

Mabel Ann was the coffee bandit in the group home, sneaking off with any soda that was brought in; when hidden, she would find it! It became a game to her. Her hobbies were drinking her coffee with the staff, working at puzzles, and getting creative with arts and crafts. Mabel Ann enjoyed going to the local chiropractor, Faylene He Does It, whom she developed a social relationship with. One of the exciting moments in her life was when she took a trip to Disneyland.
