After learning the electrical trade at age 18, Bob got a job as a traveling lineman in Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming.

Bob and Genny traveled to several places before finding their forever home in Story, Wyoming in 1965.

April 2, 1950 – October 22, 2026

Chris Steven Sarles, 76, passed away unexpectedly at his home from a medical event in Ranchester, Wyoming, on October 22, 2026.
A proud Wyoming native through and through, Chris was born in Casper on April 2, 1950. He spent his early childhood in McFadden, attending elementary school there before graduating from Rock River High School in 1968. A gifted athlete, Chris was named First Team All-State in basketball during his senior year. In his youth, he could always be found outdoors—hunting, fishing, and riding trail bikes across the Snowy Range.

After attending Casper College for three years, Chris went to work for his Uncle Bud Hansen in Big Timber, Montana. It was there that he met the love of his life, Cindy Haibeck. The two were married and shared 52 wonderful years of devotion, companionship, and adventure.

Chris and Cindy made their early home in Medicine Bow and Rock River, where Chris worked as an inventory and purchasing warehouse manager for the Rosebud Coal Mine and served his community as an active member of the Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department. Following his time at the mine, he worked alongside family on the Walking 8 Cattle Company. A true cowboy at heart, Chris loved the ranching life—team roping, working cattle, and caring for his horses and dogs. Rock River gifted them a community of wonderful, steadfast friends that remained close throughout his life.

In 1989, Chris and Cindy moved to Spearfish, South Dakota, where he worked as a purchasing agent for Golden Reward Mining and built lasting connections. In 1996, they relocated to Gillette, Wyoming, where Chris took a role as an inventory purchasing specialist with Terex Mining. Everywhere Chris went, he easily made lifelong friends, and Gillette was no exception.

Following his retirement in 2014, Chris and Cindy spent time in Saratoga Springs, Utah, and Camp Verde, Arizona, before the pull of home brought them back to his beloved Wyoming in 2025 to settle in Ranchester. Retirement was centered around what mattered most: spending time outdoors on camping trips, fishing excursions, and memorable family vacations with his four cherished grandchildren.

Chris was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He was immensely proud of his daughters, Heather Westman and Erin Bowers, and adored his grandchildren, Autumn and Lily Westman, and Peyten and Jake Bowers. He also leaves behind his brother, Jeff (Merry) Sarles and their daughters Sally and Molly, his beloved companion Buddy as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and a wide circle of friends who were like family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ted Sarles and Marion and Jim Dobson, as well as many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Chris will be remembered above all for his generous spirit, the deep love he held for his family and friends, and the gentle care he showed every animal he met over his 76 years. His presence will be deeply missed until we meet again.

A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM at St. Edmund’s Church in Ranchester, Wyoming.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Chris’s name to the St. Edmund’s Church Building Fund.

1957-2026
Nicky Edward Voogd, 69, passed away Sunday October 4th, 2026, at his childhood family home in Sheridan Wy.

Nick was born May 23rd,1957 in Sheridan to Margret “Peggy” Agnes (Harrison) Voogd and Clarence Earl Voogd. He was the eldest of 4 children. Nick was their “wild child” and if you asked Peggy, she’d tell you she earned every grey hair she had from him, but that never took away from the unconditional love they shared.

Nick worked various jobs in his younger years until settling into a roofing business with his close friend Pete. Once he could no longer roof, worked for the sawmill until they closed. After the sawmill closed nick found work for a local construction company where he was a highway flagger and overnight supervisor.

Nick had a daughter in August 1988 and nearly a decade later he met the love of his life Darlene “DeeJay”. Nick was never getting married, but he promised DeeJay if she stayed with him for 2 years, he would marry her. When the two-year mark came around Brad Taylor reminded Nick he had made a promise, Nick was going to keep his promise. Nick and Deejay were married July 1st, 2000, in the beautiful bighorn mountains, and they spent the last 25 years of their lives together making memories and honoring their vows to one another.

He enjoyed cooking, camping, fishing, drinking b**r, and watching football with his lifelong best friend Brad. Nick was a loving husband, father and trusted friend, but his proudest title was Grandpa. Nick loved his grandchildren more than anything, and they knew it too! He soiled them rotten!

He was truly one of a kind. He lived his life with integrity and purpose. He rarely complained. He built unbreakable bonds with the ones he loved, and the love he shared was unique. He didn't always say it, but in a quiet room you felt it. A feeling of peace and comfort. A feeling of home.

He is survived by his daughter Stephanie Rushin of Sheridan, his sister Terri Voogd of Sheridan, his grandchildren Kendyl, Maycie and Landyn, and numerous cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents Peggy and Earl Voogd, his wife Darlene Voogd and younger brothers Danny and David Voogd.

His presence on earth will be profoundly missed, but his memory and legacy will never be forgotten and will live on through the ones that he loved.

No services are planned at this time.

A Piercing Light of Love, Joy, and Wonder

With hearts overflowing with gratitude and sorrow, we announce the passing of Anne-Marie “Ree” Beavers (née Brown), who departed for her Heavenly home surrounded by her family on Sunday, October 18th, 2026, at the age of 59. A woman of incomparable strength, compassion, and beauty, she lived life as a force of nature – loving, unyielding, and unforgettable. She leaves behind a legacy as vibrant and unique as she was.

She was a devoted wife to Wade, her husband and best friend of 40 years; an amazing mother to her three children, Morgan, Anna, and Wade, Jr.; recent grandmother to Taz and Wesley; daughter of Dr. Tom Brown and the late Thérèse Barfield Brown; sister to Ryan (Windy) and the late Lyn Brown; mother-in-law to Dan Howell, Bailey McGarrh, and Madison Beavers; daughter-in-law to the late Curtis and Jackie Beavers; and a generous friend to many.

Born and raised in Eatonton, Georgia, Ree built a legacy defined by devotion to family, sacrifice for others, and a relentless pursuit of shared joy with those around her. Her light was indomitable, seemingly other-worldly, and always shined brightest when others needed it the most.

She met Wade at Georgia Tech during her freshman year in 1985. Inseparable ever since, they married in 1988 and began their adventure, relying on persistence, grit, a bottomless well of love, and boundless hope in what they could accomplish together. As only she could, Ree recalled fondly the difficult early years working multiple jobs to get Wade through MBA and law school.

After two decades of focusing tirelessly on raising her children, Ree built a remarkable second career as a real estate broker when she and Wade fulfilled their dream of moving to Dubois, Wyoming, a remote town in the Wind River Mountains, in 2015. Ree’s energy, tenacity and love of the outdoors translated seamlessly into her role as a proprietor of dreams for fellow adventure-seekers across the country.

Most recently, Ree’s life had been filled to the brim with the joy of becoming a grandmother, traveling to spend time with her children and their families, and building her retirement dream home with Wade. From long days clearing brush or hauling railroad ties to build a fence sturdy enough for their St. Bernard, to sitting with Wade in their swings along the Tongue River, she found a transcendent joy in every beautiful part of their adventure together. She shared that joy to decorate the lives of those around her.

And even in her final months and days, as her earthly body reached its end, Ree’s light shined as bright as ever – bringing laughter, joy, and gratitude in abundance to her loved ones.

If you knew Ree, you know this:

She was fiery. She was relentless. She was selfless. She was spunky. She was absolutely filled with wonder.

And though the world feels dimmer without her in it, we carry her with us – in the tomatoes filling the greenhouse, in the decorations at Christmas, in the random acts of kindness for strangers, in the memory of her grin, and in the way she taught us to love with reckless abandon.

A local service will be held for friends and family in Sheridan, Wyoming at Grace Anglican Church at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, November 4th.

A celebration of life service will be held in Eatonton, Georgia at the Plaza Arts Center at a day and time to be announced.

ANN MARIE GREELEY, born Monday, April 20, 1931 in Jersey City New Jersey died Sunday, September 13, 2026, in Sheridan, Wyoming, at age 95.

Ann was the daughter of Cornelius and Gertrude Bickens. She grew up being called Annie, in a large, lively family alongside her siblings Margie, Georgie, Millie, Bobby, Artie, Joey, and Rosie (now the only surviving sibling).

Though her formal education ended at eighth grade, she possessed a sharp mind and taught herself what she needed to know. Over her working years, Ann held several jobs that suited her resourceful nature. In her late teens/early 20’s, she worked in Jersey City at Stanley Laundry. After leaving the city to raise her family on the Jersey Shore, Ann sold hot pretzels for a parking lot vendor. She later became the Executive Housekeeper at Ramada Inn in Treasure Island, Florida—work she took seriously and performed with care.

But Ann's real talents emerged in the life she built away from work. She loved homemaking, party planning and hostessing...she had a knack for all of it...She loved life; creating warm, welcoming spaces wherever she lived and whatever celebration she was planning. Ann made every holiday magical with her decor, then following up with food and gifts for all! All who were there will remember the chip clips! Ann’s loved ones also knew her as someone strong-willed and creative, with a warm heart and a pure spirit that she maintained throughout her long life.

Ann enjoyed bowling, traveling, and most of all, family time—she sure liked to keep life interesting. Ann stayed in shape her whole life by drinking lots of water, walking, and keeping active. Those who knew her well had nicknames for her such as ‘ Miss Perfect Ann’, ‘Mother Nature’, and ‘She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed’—each one capturing a different facet of her character. She instilled in her children values and social graces to know right from wrong.

For years, Ann hosted most holidays, enjoying her role as the matriarch of our family...a large blended family that gave Ann 8 grandchildren. The first five were born to her daughters. From Linda came Heidi and Misty. Cliff, Annie and Jesse were born to Donna. The oldest three - Chris, Anita and Alisha joined the family through Ann’s son-in-law, Dale.

Collectively, these grandchildren made her ‘Great Gram’ to lots of great-grandkids. Some of them now have offspring of their own, making her ‘Great-GREAT-Gram!’ Ann treasured the loving bonds that were nurtured over the years with her family and friends. She even got to bond with a good many of the great-grandchildren. In her later years, she often asked about them...even the ones she never got to meet! She called her daughters and son-in-law every night to say goodnight and blow them a kiss!

Those who were able to be with Ann in her last days were so dedicated to her with their time, love and support. With their help, Ann was able to enjoy hearing from lots of loved ones through the telephone lines. She continued expressing her love and gratitude until the very end of her long, fulfilling life. She cherished each and every one of her loved ones...near and far.

Ann is survived by her children, sister, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews and nieces, along with their respective families. She also leaves behind numerous dear friends she made along her life’s journey.

She was preceded in death by her parents, six siblings, too many nephews and nieces, and many lifelong friends. Ann Marie Greeley loved people and was loved by all. She will be deeply missed. Please join us in celebrating her life.

A Service will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at noon at The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Inurnment will take place at the Sheridan Municipal Cemetery Junipers Heights section.

With a reception to follow at the Champion Kane Reception Hall. following the inurnment.

Martin Ray Terry Sr
Was born sep 24, 1960 and walked through the doors to heaven on sep 29,2026.
Martin was a loving father, papa, brother, uncle, and a good friend.

Martin endured a great deal of pain throughout his life, but he never allowed that pain to completely define him. He leaned on humor, family, music, and his art to help carry him through his days. Even during difficult times, there was still a joke to be made, something to build, a song to turn up a little too loud, or somebody he loved to spend time with.

Martin called himself “Grumpy,” but those who knew him best knew the truth: underneath that Grumpy exterior was a big teddy bear with a big heart for his family.

Martin loved his Western shows, especially John Wayne , when he wasn’t watching a Western, there was a good chance music was playing. His taste covered some ground—Willie Nelson, Pink Floyd, Alan Jackson, Ozzy Osbourne, and Vince Gill.

Martin also ran on a few essentials: coffee, sweet tea, popcorn, and dark chocolate—which he considered his “heart medicine.” There was always room for a little humor in Martin’s world.

He loved classic cars, hot rods, and Harley-Davidsons, and some of his most treasured memories were made working on cars with family. One particularly special memory was building a hot rod with his brother Carl.

Martin was also a craftsman, artist, and natural problem-solver. When his body made ordinary tasks difficult, he found his own way to do them. He made back scratchers, extended brushes, and other homemade contraptions to help himself through everyday life. He even found uses for toy tires to help him grip things.

He loved carving his canes and making biker bracelets What he made reflected the man himself—creative, determined, resourceful, and unmistakably Martin.

But of all the things Martin enjoyed, nothing meant more to him than his family.

He loved spending time with his sister and children and grandchildren and being surrounded by family, and friends.

Martin is survived by his sister, Carlotta Miller; his children, Joy Terry, Cory Cedar, and Buddy Terry; his grandchildren, Jazmin cedar, lieko Galardo, Haiden Terry, Wyatt Terry, Raelynn Terry, Khailee Terry, Tara Terry , and Emma Terry; along with many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family members, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Irene Terry; his father, Carl Terry; his brothers, Rick Terry and Carl Terry; his wife, Tami; and his sister, Sue.

Martin’s life cannot be measured by the years between two dates. It can be measured in the things he created, the cars he worked on, the canes he carved, the problems he solved, the laughter he caused, the music he played too loud, and most of all, the people he loved and who loved him in return.
He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and carried forward in every story told about Martin aka Grumpy

Rest easy, Martin. May the coffee be hot, the sweet tea be cold, the Westerns always have a good ending, the music be as loud as you want it, and may there always be a piece of dark chocolate nearby for your “heart medicine.”
