Beth Clark Sibbett was called back to her heavenly home on April 10, 2026 at the age of 83.

Beth was born in St. Anthony, Idaho, on July 5th, 1942, to Walter and Rhea Clark. Her childhood home was full of life, laughter, and the steady rhythm of a busy family. As the second oldest of eight children, she naturally stepped into a role of both sister and helper. Whether it was helping to tend to daily chores on the family farm, mending clothes and learning to quilt alongside her mother, or filling the home with music from the piano and playing accompaniment for her father, Beth was a steady and loving presence.

She shared a special bond with each of her siblings. Beth was someone they could rely on for comfort, encouragement, and strength. Those early years remained a cherished part of her life, filled with shared laughter, hard work, deep and abiding love, and a strong family foundation they all shared.

As a young girl, she discovered a natural talent for ballroom dancing, a joy she carried through high school and into her college years at Brigham Young University.

Beth faithfully served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Mission. Upon returning, she completed her degree in early childhood education and became a fourth-grade teacher.

It was while attending BYU that she met the love of her life, Lyman Sibbett. Their courtship became something of a family legend, and they were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on June 7th, 1966. Together, they built a beautiful life and were blessed with nine children. Their journey took them through Utah and Idaho before settling in what would become their forever home in Cowley, Wyoming.

Beth dedicated many years of service within her church, serving faithfully in the Primary, Young Women, and Relief Society organizations—most often sharing her musical talents as a pianist and ward organist. Later in life, she and Lyman were called to serve together in the Billings Montana Temple, a calling that brought her immense joy and fulfillment.

Beth's hands were rarely still. Through her remarkable talent with a needle and thread, Beth created countless quilts—each one a labor of love. These beautiful works of art found their way across the country, treasured by all who received them. She generously shared her talents with friends and neighbors, often sewing costumes for local high school productions and helping wherever there was a need.

Though she wore many hats throughout her life, Beth's greatest joy was her role as a mother and grandmother. She created a home filled with warmth, love, and belonging—a place where her family always felt safe and cherished. To know Beth was to feel her love, most often expressed through her constant acts of service. Beth will be remembered for her spunky, no-nonsense spirit, her many talents, her devotion to homemaking, her love of family, and her unwavering faith in her Savior and Heavenly Father.

Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are deeply grateful for her example of faith, love, and service. The home she and Lyman built, the legacy of their 60-year marriage, and the life she lived so fully and faithfully will continue to bless generations to come. She was, and always will be, deeply treasured and dearly loved—both in this life and in the next.

Beth is survived by her loving husband Lyman Sibbett of Cowley, WY; her children Michael Sibbett of Casper, WY, Bryan (Gina) Sibbett of Vancouver, WA, Renae Ureña of Casper, WY, Lori Ann Sibbett of Cowley, WY, Jackie (Matthew) McNiven of Burlington, WY, Raymond (Naomi) Sibbett of Belfry, MT, Beth Elaine (Travis) Brown of Worland, WY, David (Anna) Sibbett of Casper, WY; her cherished twenty-one grandchildren, ten great-grand children, and four grandchildren-in-law; her sisters Bonnie Parades of St. Anthony, ID, Karen Palmer of Ashton, ID, Colleen (Sheldon) Kidd of Rexburg, ID; her brothers Vern (Sharon) Clark of Pocatello, ID, Leon (Silvia) Clark of Ashton, ID, and brother-in-law Bruce (Ann) Sibbett of San Bernardino, CA.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Rhea Clark, brothers Delton Clark and Dale Clark, sister-in-law Rosetta Hanshaw, and beloved daughter Michelle Christensen.

Services to be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cowley, Wyoming, April 13, 2026, at 2pm in the afternoon.

In Loving Memory of Sylvia Jean "Jeanni" Kennison
March 21, 1948 – March 23, 2026
Sylvia Jean "Jeanni" Kennison, born on March 21, 1948, and peacefully went to see Jesus on March 23, 2026, just days after celebrating her 78th birthday.
Jeanni was a woman whose life was defined by Jesus, love, kindness, and compassion. She had a heart for every person and every animal to walk the Earth. She never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Whether offering a kind word, a listening ear, taking you to lunch, a hug, a red lipstick stain on your cheek, or her time and energy; she made everyone around her feel seen, valued, loved, and cared for. She lived her faith daily, reflecting grace, humility, and a deep love for others with the purest of intentions.

She is preceded in death by her Father Ray Newman, Mother Hattie Newman, Sister Julia Castello, and husband Roger Thompson.
She is survived by her daughter Shay Kennison, her fiancé Mike Russo, her grandson Joseph Reso, his wife Brittney Reso, two great-grandchildren in Baeden and Ezmerae, and granddaughter Victoria Louis and great-grandchild Jaylen.

Jeanni will be dearly missed but forever remembered for the light she brought into so many lives and the embodiment of God's love that she showed to others. Her legacy of kindness and selflessness will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched.

"I never said it would be easy... I only said it would be worth it."

*** A celebration of life will be arranged at Journey Fellowship Church in Slidell Louisiana in the future ***

Douglas Jerome Haugenoe was one of a set of twins born September 17, 1948, to Oscar and Emma (Sortland) Haugenoe in Crosby, North Dakota. He and his twin Don joined brothers Edward and Roger, and sisters Elaine, Nancy and Donna on the family farm in Twin Butte Township.
Doug attended the Twin Butte country school through elementary. Then he went on to high school in Crosby. Doug was a member of the 4-H and FFA. Doug graduated from Crosby High School in 1966.
After high school, Doug attended college at Dickinson State University, where he was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. He graduated from DSU with a degree in business education.
Doug started his teaching career in Alamo, ND, where he taught for one year (1972-73) and also drove school bus. Next, he taught in Fingal, ND for half a year (1973) before taking a permanent position as a business teacher at Lovell High School in Lovell, Wyoming in 1974, where he also served as the advisor for the annual for many years. Doug loved teaching and devoted his life to his many students. He kept up with many of his students after they graduated and enjoyed hearing how they were doing and what they were up to.

Doug spent many summers back in North Dakota doing exterior painting with his lifelong friend, Neal Throntveit. Doug golfed many, many rounds of golf over the years, with his brother Roger and his good friend and colleague, Jim Kolesar, as well as many others. And if he wasn’t playing golf, he was watching it on television! Especially in the last few years, Doug couldn’t have had a more devoted friend than Jim Minchow. Who knew that what started out as Doug renting a house from Jim’s parents when he first moved to Lovell would turn into a lifelong friendship.
Doug kept in shape earlier in his life as an avid runner, then after he hung up his running shoes, he continued to walk every day for nearly 20 years until his health no longer allowed it.

Robert “Gail” Allen of Lovell, WY passed away at the tender age of 89 at the North Big Horn Hospital in Lovell on March 17, 2026. He was born on March 11, 1937, to Camille and Lilly (McMurry) Albach in Luray, KS. He joined his sister, Cammie, and his brother, Murray. Later, another sister, Carlene, joined the family. Their dad, being in different occupations, lived in many different towns throughout their young lives. Gail graduated from Rawlins High School in Rawlins, WY in 1955. He met Janice Gill in high school, and they married on August 29, 1955. They were married over 70 years!
Gail started out in road construction and lived in many locations. Their son, Robert Gail Allen Jr., was born in Alliance, Nebraska in 1956. In 1958, their son David Neil was born in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado. Gail and Janice moved to Cheyenne in 1959, and Gail began his career in car sales. Their daughter, Tracy Marlene, was born in 1960 in Cheyenne. Then in 1961, their son, Steven James was born in Cheyenne. In 1964, Gail completed Auction School in Kansas City, Missouri. He became a successful auctioneer for over 40 years. The family moved to Caldwell, Idaho in 1972. While in Idaho, the family worked and traveled together all over the Western United States for auctions. Each of the four kids received a $20 bill and a set of luggage for graduation!! After all the kids graduated from high school, and they lost all their free help, Gail and Janice worked and moved to several places (Saratoga, WY, Billings, MT, Salt Lake City, UT, and Albuquerque, NM).
Gail and Janice moved back to Wyoming in 1988 and settled on their farm in Lovell, Wyoming. In between his auctions, car sales, and traveling, he was busy farming. In 2005, he finally retired, which allowed them to travel for several years to Yuma, AZ and they made many friends while there. Gail and Janice sold their beloved farm and moved into town in 2020.
He was always pulling pranks as a kid (with his brother, Murray), and later as an adult in collusion with his kids. He was a lot of fun to be around. He was a fantastic dancer, a great piano player, and picked up the bass guitar in his later years. He was a wonderful storyteller, and all of his stories of his adventures were true! He will truly be missed by everyone who knew him.
Gail was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Murray, and his sister, Cammie Bell (Art).
He is survived by his loving wife, Janice of Lovell, his sister, Carlene Johnson (Everett) of Fort Morgan, CO, his sons, Bob (Jeanette) of North Carolina, David (Eve) of Billings, Steve (Laura) of Lovell, and his daughter, Tracy Landeis (Rick) of Sheridan.

Floyd Henderson Obituary
Floyd “Guy” Henderson of Greybull, Wyoming, passed away peacefully at his home on March 15, 2026, at the age of 94, surrounded by his family.

Guy was born on August 11, 1931, to Floyd and Verna Henderson in the Greybull Hospital. He was the first of two boys. His childhood days were spent mostly in the Greybull River area on his Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson’s farm.

He went to Greybull schools all but one year when they went to Bayonne, New Jersey in the sixth grade when his dad worked for the Union Tank Lines repairing cars for the railroad.

After graduating in the summer of 1949, he worked for “Smokey” Grabbert in Emblem, Wyoming, earning $5.00 a day. That fall he began working at McLeon Motors in Greybull, where he remained until February of 1951 when he joined the United States Navy. He was stationed in San Francisco for three years.

On December 20, 1952, he married the love of his life, Luella “Becky” Werbelow. In 1954, he and his brother Dale were both deployed overseas during the Korean War aboard the aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea for one year.

While Guy was deployed, he and Becky welcomed their first son, Roger Guy Henderson, in 1954. Roger was three months old before he was able to meet him.

1955, he was discharged from the Navy and went to work for Mobil Oil in Manderson, WY until they shut down in 1960. In 1956, they welcomed their second son Vernon Ray Henderson. The following year they moved to Beaumont, Texas where he went back to work for Mobil Chemicals. In 1966, while living in Texas they welcomed their third son Darin Wayne Henderson.

In 1967, they moved back to Greybull where he went in partnership with Frank Dunning in his Upholstery and General Store. In 1968, they welcomed their fourth son Ross Irvin Henderson.

In 1972 under the Desert land act, he and eight other friends purchased 2,880 acres of land in Ten Sleep, Wy. They successfully drilled an artisan well and farmed the land. Guy and Becky later sold their share in 1976; today it is known as Buffalo Creek Farms.

In 1976, he went to work for Wyo-Ben until he retired in 1999. In 1982, they purchased the home place on the Greybull River that belonged to his grandparents and later his parents.

He is survived by his wife Becky of 73 years, his four sons, Roger (Darla), Vernon (Donata), Darin, and Ross (Wendy), sisters-in-law Carla Henderson and Jean Werbelow, 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his father Floyd Henderson, Mother Verna Wilson and stepdad Jay Wilson, father and mother in-law Martin and Ella Werbelow, his brother Dale Henderson, niece Lark Henderson, five sister in-laws, and seven brother in-laws.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who have had the privilege of knowing him.

Jennifer Booth Obituary

Jennifer “Jenny” Booth, 64, of Burlington, WY, passed away unexpectedly at home on March 6, 2026. Although her passing was sudden, we are comforted that it was peaceful and quick – what we all wish for, especially for those we love.

Born September 8, 1961, in Elmira, NY, to the late John and Donna Soper Booth, Jenny spent her early life living in Mansfield, White Haven, and Trucksville, PA. She graduated from Dallas High School in 1979. Jenny maintained lifelong friendships, and together with best friends Joan Harrison and Laurie Fry – known fondly as “The Three Amigos” – still shared many memorable adventures and antics.

She is survived by her sister, Holly Booth Sethman (Rick) of Scenery Hill, PA, and her brother, Kevin Booth (Shelley) of Asheville, NC. She also leaves behind nieces Rainey Moschetta (Johnny), Cailtin O’Bryan (Adam), Carly Sethman (Ham Wisetjung), Lucy Booth, and nephew Gardner Booth, and her Greats ~ Roman, Rosalind, Maya, and another on the way.

Although spread across the country, the multitude of Booth family cousins remain tightly bonded by heritage in the Endless Mountains of Northern PA. This May marks our 74th family reunion on what are the remaining acres of their grandparents’ dairy farm. The seeds of her love of the outdoors, Mother Earth, and life’s adventures were set there.

Jenny is also survived by longtime boyfriend and partner Mike Goton, of Shell. They shared much love and laughter in Big Horn County. Jenny enjoyed spring calving at his ranch, and her lavish lasagna feast will be greatly missed by so many at this year’s branding. Her sidekick fur-baby, Irma, has returned to her birthplace on his ranch with her fur-brothers at her side.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by Travis Darling, whom she considered to be her stepson.

Jenny’s stalwart work ethic began in her early teens; the money she earned allowed her to board horses and buy her first saddle. To her, trail rides and mucking stalls were more fun than any prom. After graduation she answered an ad in the back of Mother Earth News magazine. She pointed her used car west, landing at Valley Ranch, Upper Southfork in Cody (1980). She spent three years first as a nanny, and then a wrangler. The western hook was set!

Her gypsy adventures launched her to Ketchum, ID, Telluride, CO, Reno, NV, Ignacio, CO, and back to her beloved Cody in 2009. She drove teams of draft horses for winter dinner sleigh rides and led pack trips into the Sawtooths. She wrangled and landscaped. Jenny operated a cutting horse business and showed for ten years. She rode performance horses and turned-out gourmet mountain meals for hunting outfitters. She even drove a taxi briefly!

She loved the western life in all its forms, breathing mountain air and developing lifelong friendships along the way, both human and four-legged. She recently laughed that she could still recall the names of almost every horse at Valley Ranch. If a one-eyed cat starving showed up at her door — she was done for. She had a heart of gold.

Beyond ranch life, Jenny was a talented artist. From a young age she had a gift for “Bringing the Outside - In.” Wildflowers and feathers magically arranged in a driftwood vase. An old wasp nest to hold earrings. But her artist’s eye was captivated by antlers and skulls. Inspired by Native American culture, she was able to envision a new vibrant life erupt in place of bleached bone. She began carving in 1997, hung up her spurs in 2012, and shifted her focus to full-time carving – jennyboothart.com was born.

Her carvings now grace tables and mantles and walls around the world. Her attention to detail and incorporation of silver, leather, and ivory earned her many awards throughout the juried art world:

2012 – Cody High Style People’s Choice

2013 – Cody High Style People’s Choice

2015 – Western Design Conference – Honorable Mention Accents

2016 – Western Design Conference – Best of Show

2017 – Western Design Conference – Honorable Mention Accents

2018 – Western Design Conference – Best Artist Accents

She was an active member of By Western Hands in Cody since 2019, collaborating with classes and demonstrations, making countless, valued friends and students along the way.

Jenny also loved her final residence in Burlington, affectionately calling it “Whoville” for its wholesome, folksy community. She was active on the town council for seven years, adopting town flower planters as her special project. Her civic service extended to volunteering with Basin Food Pantry. She loved her time spent in Big Horn County with all her “Mountain Trash “friends, and her Girls Gatherings… all of whom were more like family.

A Celebration of a Life Well Lived will be held from 3:00-6:00 on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at the Burlington Fire Hall. Service, followed by good eats and good fellowship. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to By Western Hands, Cody, WY, or to Basin Food Pantry.

Additional service to be held on April 11th at 11:00 a.m. at Prince of Peace Episcopal Church, 420 Main Street, Dallas, PA, followed by a luncheon at the Greens, at the Irem Temple Country Club at about 12:30 p.m.
