09/07/1956 - 07/17/2026 It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Aunt, Susan Kay Fleury (Adsit). At the age of 69, she passed away on July 17, 2026, joining her husband and the family who went before her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.Susan was born on September 7, 1956, in Sheridan, Wyoming, to Robert Adsit and Darlene Adsit (Fleming). She attended grade school in Casper, Wyoming, before moving back to Sheridan with her family. The loss of her Mother at a very young age was a difficult time for the whole family. During her high school years, Susan lived with her grandmother (Alice Adsit) special season of her life that she carried with her always, and one that helped shape the strong, independent woman she became. While attending school, she worked as a nurse's aid and at the Children's Center. She graduated from Sheridan High School with the Class of 1974-1975. Following high school, Susan married the love of her life, Thomas Fleury, on November 19, 1976, in Sheridan, Wyoming. Together, they welcomed two children: Cheynoah Dawn Fleury, born December 9, 1977, and Thomas John "TJ" Fleury Jr., born January 20, 1981. The family resided in Gillette, Wyoming, for 37 years, where Thomas worked at Kissack Water and Oil Service. Tom was very hard working and dedicated husband and father. Tom was loved by the entire family and his sudden death was a shock and grief that family tried to navigate through -- incredible difficult time. Susan was a dedicated homemaker who fiercely loved her family, volunteered for school activities, and supported her children's classes. She was known simply as a loving person who made everyone feel welcomed and loved. Susan was fiercely independent, rarely asking for help, and preferring instead to be the one showing up for others. She had a kind heart and always sought to make things right, later in life making peace and amends with family members. She had a vibrant spirit and a passion for dancing especially the jitterbug. She never missed a chance to hit the dance floor and would happily dance all night. Susan also enjoyed listening to country music and dancing along with crafts, gardening, traveling, camping, cooking, and watching movies. She loved celebrating the holidays with family and friends, and looked forward to shopping trips to Billings, Montana, always on the hunt for the perfect gift. A very memorable family highlight was a private tour of the White House and Washington D.C, while T.J. was stationed in D.C.-- many cherished memories were shared for a whole week!! Family pictures in the White House Press Room!! Above all, Susan's family was her entire life. She was immensely proud of her son, TJ (Thomas John), and all of his accomplishments-especially his Military service in the Army. She was equally proud of her daughter, Cheynoah, for her talent behind the camera and for the strength she showed as a devoted single parent. Susan was overjoyed to become a grandmother to Jason, believing with all her heart that her handsome grandson belonged on a magazine cover. Susan was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas Fleury; her parents, Robert and Darlene Adsit; and her Grandmother Alice Adsit and beloved Uncle George Adsit and Aunt Flora Mae. She is survived and lovingly remembered by her children, Cheynoah and TJ; her grandson Jason Rodrick;, her sister Linda Lewallen (Andy); her brother, Ronald "Ronnie" Adsit (Chris); lifelong friend Kristine Adams and many extended family members and friends. "The past few years have been difficult -Cheynoah and T.J. have stayed beside her through life's difficult times. She is truly bless with amazing children whose love, unwavering strength, unwavering support meant everything" Susan will forever be remembered for her kindness, her independence, her love of dancing, and the profound love she had for her family.

January 17, 2026 - July 21, 2026 Barbara Alice "Boo" BraytonBarbara Alice "Barb" Brayton, lovingly known to family and friends as "Boo," died peacefully on July 21, 2026, at The Springs at Grand Park in Billings, Montana, at the age of 70. Barb was born on January 17, 1956, in Sheridan, Wyoming, where she was raised and graduated from Sheridan High School. She possessed a lifelong love of learning and education that led her to earn an Associate of Science degree in Chemical Technology from Sheridan College in 1977, a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Wyoming, and later, after changing the direction of her career, a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming in 2004. Barb's professional life reflected both her remarkable intellect and her compassionate nature. She began her career with Honeywell Defense Systems and later worked for Bendix Field Engineering Corporation. From 1987 to 1993, she served as a Forensic Scientist with the Wyoming State Crime Laboratory, where her analytical skills and dedication to excellence earned the respect of those who worked alongside her. Following her career in forensic science, she pursued her passion for helping others by earning her social work degree and serving as Program Director for Mother Seton Housing, where she found fulfillment in improving the lives of those she served. Though accomplished professionally, Boo will be remembered most for the quiet way she cared about others. She treasured the companionship of her beloved kitty, whose unconditional love brought her comfort and joy throughout the years. Those closest to her knew her as intelligent, thoughtful, and kind—a woman who preferred sincerity over attention and whose gentle spirit left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Barb is survived by her sisters, Patricia Berry of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and Susan Brayton of Sheridan, Wyoming. She is also survived by her nieces, nephews, and cousins, including Greg Von Krosigk, Todd Von Krosigk, Maria (Paige) Pozos, Angela Kiramis, Scott Berry, Tom Berry, Eric Jackson, Jay Brayton, Mike Brayton, Margie Gray, Jodi Brayton, Liz Brayton, Shannon Brayton, John McBride, Mark Shellinger, Sandy Shellinger, Dan Burnett, Robin Patton, and Cindy Burnett. She was preceded in death by her parents, Don Brayton and Mary Gwen (Shellinger) Brayton; and by her sisters, Donna Marosok, Kerry Brayton, and Kathy Brayton. The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers and staff at The Springs at Grand Park and St. John's United Hospice for the compassion, dignity, and exceptional care they provided to Barb during her final days. Their kindness and support brought comfort not only to Barb but also to her family during a difficult time. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a local animal shelter or another charity that reflects Barb's love for animals and helping others. Based on her wishes, no funeral service will be held, and a family picnic will occur at a later time. Although she has left this world, Boo's quiet kindness, gentle heart, and enduring love for those closest to her will never be forgotten. Online condolences may be made to www.sheridanfuneral.com. Arrangements are under the care of Sheridan Funeral Home.

7/4/2026 March 23, 1935 - July 4, 2026 Lynn Erdman de Almeida, known to many in the Bighorn Mountains above Sheridan simply as Lynn of Folly Ranch, died July 4, 2026, Independence Day, a date that suited her, in a memory care facility in Sintra, Portugal, following a night in the hospital. She was 91. Lynn was born March 23, 1935, in Pasadena, California, to Calvin Pardee Erdman and Eleanor Donnelley. Her childhood moved between different worlds: she'd spend most of the year in Pasadena while her summers were spent at Folly Ranch. This echoed into her young adulthood when Lynn would spend months at a time in Paris, and months at a time in Wyoming, a pattern that seemed to set the terms for the rest of her life. In 1953 Lynn married Antonio de Almeida, a conductor who would go on to lead, among others, the Stuttgart Philharmonic, the Houston Symphony, the Nice Philharmonic, and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. The marriage carried the family through Europe for more than three decades, roughly 1955 to 1988, following his posts from one concert hall to the next. The couple had three children, Antonio, Lawrence, and Cecilia, before divorcing in 1988. Antonio de Almeida died in 1997. Later in life Lynn married Diego Saez Falcon, who survives her. In recent years the two were cared for together at the memory care facility in Sintra, where Diego remains. But it was Wyoming, and specifically her Folly Ranch sat high in the Bighorns, where Lynn became a legend rather than simply a resident. She had no electricity at Folly, and she didn't seem to miss it. Guests arrived for dinner to a round of champagne, and when the meal was announced they filed into a dining room lit only by candles, finding their places by hunting for their names on wooden clothespins clipped to the napkins. Five or six courses followed, always with good French wine, and were often prepared by Lynn herself, a superb cook. She drove an old Ford Bronco, originally blue, which she had at some point repainted white herself, by most accounts with a broom or a large brush. She would arrive at friends' cabins sliding to a stop and parking squarely out front, announcing herself without needing to say a word, always exactly in time for dinner, and always ready to instruct whoever was cooking that night on how it ought to be done. She was welcome anyway. Lynn knew flowers the way other people know faces, the common names and the Latin ones both, and spent many hours with Bob and Joan Wallick in their gardens in the valley. Every year in Wyoming she kept a dog or two at her side, perhaps borrowed from the Wallicks, or possibly bought by her and simply left in the Wallicks care the rest of the year. No one ever quite settled which it was, but everyone could expect them to be by her side. As she walked with them along the mountainsides, Lynn held on to one particular grudge: the invasive pinks that had crept across the mountain pastures, which she regarded as an enemy to be fought rather than tolerated. Her circle of friends in the valley largely shared her interests, and among them, her longtime friend Gwynne Fordyce featured often in the stories Lynn told about the old days. Lynn is survived by her husband, Diego Saez Falcon, of Sintra, Portugal; her children, Antonio (Tony) d'Almeida of Miami, Florida, Lawrence (Larry) d'Almeida of Florence, Italy, and Cecilia (Cici) d'Almeida of Miami, Florida, and Paris; her grandchildren, Nicola, Rafael, and Julian; and her brother, Pard Erdman, of Maui, Hawail. For those who knew her at Folly Ranch, Lynn will be remembered less for any one thing than for the particular, unrepeatable combination of all of them: the candlelight, the clothespins, the white Bronco sliding to a stop, the flowers she could name in two languages, and the stories, told and retold, of a life lived largely on her own terms.
