The religious fruitcake declares “God is good.”

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Montana (AP) — Authorities searched Monday for a grizzly bear that attacked and killed a 47-year-old Derby woman on a trail west of Yellowstone National Park along the Montana-Idaho border.

The attack on Amie Adamson happened Saturday morning only a few hundred yards from a trailhead and private campground. There was no sign that the bear, which was traveling with at least one cub, tried to eat the victim, who appears to have been jogging when she was fatally mauled, said Morgan Jacobsen with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

Authorities could not say for certain whether the victim was preyed upon or whether it was a chance encounter as she traveled alone in a wooded area frequented by grizzly and black bears.

“She was an avid hiker, marathon runner and just a beautiful free spirit that didn’t care about possessions or material things,” Janet Adamson said. “She lived for experiences. God is so good. He took her by nature, not by any evil deed, bad accident or bad illness. He took her where she was out doing what she loved and that gives us comfort.”
