Our Lady of the Rockies is a 90ft statue overlooking the town of Butte, MT. But before She was a statue, She was a promise- made by Bob O’Bill to his wife, Joyce, when she was diagnosed with cancer in the late 1970’s. Bob swore that if she recovered, he would create a monument in her honor. In 1979, after Joyce had made a full recovery, construction on the statue began. Our Lady of the Rockies now stands as the fourth tallest statue in the United States, and exists as a place of reflection and gratitude towards the women in our lives- a place to honor our mothers and grandmothers, and “…the women who have given you guidance, who have been your teachers, who have given you strength and love. Like the foundation of the Continental Divide below you, our mothers are the foundation of our strength,” reads the plaque placed below her.
