September 18, 1965 - May 6, 2026 Sherry Sue Unger Burley, of Sheridan, Wyoming, passed away on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. She was born on September 18, 1965 in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Sherry was a woman of deep creativity, fierce individuality, and a spirit that could never quite be contained by ordinary life. She loved being "on the ranch" with her husband, Jay Burley, surrounded by the wide Montana sky, horses, sheep, and the quiet rhythm of ranch life. Among all her companions, her beloved dog Dude held a special place in her heart and was often referred to as her favorite "person." She leaves behind her loving husband, Jay Burley; her children, Vanessa Grove, Stefanie Stueve, Jessica Crumrine, and Jeremiah Morley; 12 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren; her parents, Freda and Ken Neer; her sisters, Marie Parsons and Cindy Unger; and her brother, Jim Unger. Sherry was endlessly artistic and talented in ways that touched every corner of her life. She played guitar and sang, painted beautiful pictures, practiced wood burning, and drew with a style entirely her own. Creativity flowed naturally through her hands and spirit. Whether through music, art, or the way she lived, she brought originality, color, and character into the world around her. She will be remembered for her unique soul, her artistic heart, her love of the ranch, and the lasting memories she created with those who knew and loved her. Her presence leaves an empty space that cannot be filled, but the stories, laughter, art, and love she shared will remain with her family forever.

07/14/1954 - 05/05/2026 Janeen Dewey passed at home in Sheridan WY, on May 5, 2026, with her husband, Carl Dewey, at her side. Janeen was a devoted and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt to her large family. To her extended family and friends on the ranch, at church, and in the community, Janeen was a joy to all those around her and who had the pleasure of knowing Janeen. Janeen was born in Roswell NM and moved across the west with her family, eventually settling in Tucson, Arizona where she graduated from Cholla High School. Later, Janeen attended the University of Arizona studying Accounting which led to a career with a local bank In Sheridan.

In Sheridan Janeen found her calling for helping people and pivoted from her career in banking to Nursing, obtaining her RN at Sheridan College before working at Billings Clinic. Janeen spent her life in service to and helping others and it came as no surprise that she found such joy in her career as a nurse. Janeen met and dated Carl in high school and while they both took different paths, they found their way back to each other and married in 1992. Carl introduced Janeen to Sheridan and the other love of her life, the Ranch. Janeen and Carl built a loving life on the ranch and welcomed family, friends, and at times, strangers to the ranch over their 35 years together. On the Ranch, Janeen enjoyed gardening, doing anything with Carl, and perhaps her favorite pastime, coming up with new projects for Carl which he happily accepted to spend more time with her. Their love and devotion to each other was apparent to everyone and is an example to all. Janeen has so many passions, music, church, gardening, and other people, but she was most passionate about her family.
