Diana (Badders) Weaver — Class of 1961
Diana (Dyna) loved so many things about life, but she loved taking road trips most of all, when on the hot afternoon of Saturday, June 17, 2017 she decided to take her final road trip home, without a doubt taking a detour thru Yellowstone on the way. When she arrived at the garden in the sky she was greeted by her husband Jimmy Weaver (2013) and son James Weaver(1986) who preceded her in death. Surviving her is her daughter Deborah Striplin, granddaughter Elizabeth Allen, grandson James Striplin Jr., sister Sue, brother Preston and extended family.

Bronwyn (Hanney) Grissom — Class of 1968
On April 23, 2021 Bronwyn died as the result of a tragic accident when the truck she was a passenger in went off the road. I believe her husband was the driver and was also injured.
Bronwyn was born on Jun 23, 1950 to Cyerl and Nell Hanney. Cyrel was the Episcopal priest, in Trona in the 1960’s. Bronwyn graduated from Trona High School in 1968. After high school she attended the Los Angeles County Medical Center School of Nursing. In 1971 she married Paul Grisson.
Bronwyn had an older sister, Gwyn (Hanney) Wotring , who was in the class of 1966 and a younger brother, Derwyn, in the class 1971. Their Father died in 1981.
April 23, 2021
Authorities say 70-year-old Idaho resident Bronwyn Grissom was riding passenger in a Toyota Tundra heading northbound when the truck drifted off the right edge of the road for roughly 415 feet before hitting a steep earth embankment, bringing the truck to a complete stop.
The unnamed driver and Grissom were taken Converse County Memorial Hospital before Grissom was taken to Wyoming Medical Center in Casper. She died en route to Casper.
According to the report, driver fatigue and/or falling asleep are being investigated as contributing factors.
The extent of the driver’s injuries has not been specified. The road was dry and the weather was clear. Thursday’s crash marks Wyoming’s 27th highway fatality in 2021. At this point last year, there were 22.
Jeanne Murrin tried to leave me a message about this back in May. I’m sorry I missed it.

Linda (Pipkin) Cox — Class of 1965
I’m also sad to report that Gail’s cousin, Linda (Pipkin) Cox of Trona has also passed- the same day. — Marilyn Walker McKee
Linda Cox left this world on April 1st, 2021 at the young age of 74. To say that she will be missed is an understatement. To put into words the story of her life is a daunting task, but one of the most important life lessons she was able to provide her family was the ability to persevere in the face of darkness and to make the best out of any situation no matter how easy or difficult.
