Connie Staudohar (1953-2009) was a public health nurse, graduate student, and Montana historian specializing in science, medicine and women’s history.
Early life and education[edit]
Constance “Connie” Staudohar was born on August 14, 1953 to Pete and Peg (Parry) Staudohar. She had two brothers, Joe and Doug. She grew up in Anaconda, Montana and graduated from Anaconda High School in 1971. She briefly attended college at the University of Montana at Missoula before transferring to the University of Washington and earning her nursing degree. Staudohar later returned to school to earn her master’s degree in history from Montana State University and was working on a Ph.D. in the History of Science and Medicine at the time of her death.[1]
Career in public health[edit]
In 1983, Staudohar moved to Bozeman, Montana. She worked as a public health nurse for several years before continuing her education in history. [1]
Career in history[edit]
Following earning her master’s degree, Staudohar taught history as an adjunct professor in the Honors Program at Montana State University.[2] Her research interests centered around notable women of Bozeman (including female professors at Montana State University), public health in Montana, the Galen Sanitarium, and Dr. Caroline M. McGill.[3] Staudohar gave several public talks and conducted independent research on these topics during her work as a graduate student and in her role as an independent researcher.[4] In addition, Staudohar served on the boards of the Gallatin Valley Land Trust and the Sunset Hills Cemetery. [1] She also created the Bozeman Women’s Heritage Trail, a walking tour through Bozeman, Montana, and wrote the accompanying guide Bozeman Women’s Heritage Trail: a Self-Guided Tour.[3]
Personal life[edit]
Staudohar met Christopher “Chris” Lamont Boyd while pursuing a degree at the University of Montana.[1] The two married on August 30, 1973[5] and moved to Seattle. There, they had two children, Dan and Brenna.[1]
Later years[edit]
At the age of 55, Staudohar committed suicide by entering the Gallatin River during high water and turbulence. She drowned on May 19, 2009.[6] Her research papers are now held by Special Collections and Archives at the Montana State University Library.
