She leaves behind a life that serves as a reminder that evil can penetrate the life of anyone who struggles to feel loved and accepted. As we commemorate her life, we ask that you reach out to those you have wronged or abandoned so that we can provide hope to those who feel lost.
Thessalonians 4:13-14 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 pm, Friday, November 22, 2024 at Fox Funeral Home, 2800 Commercial Way, Rock Springs, WY. A viewing will be held on hour prior to services.
