Christina M. Bartholomew

October 11, 1951 — October 16, 2024

Christina (Chris) Bartholomew, 73, of Cheyenne passed away on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at the hospital. She was born on October 11, 1951 in Buffalo, NY to James and Edith Ermer. Chris practiced for over 50 years as a registered nurse (RN), starting her career in the neonatal intensive care unit at Buffalo NY Children’s hospital (head nurse). After relocating to Wyoming, she worked in the pediatric unit at DePaul Hospital and taught pediatric nursing at the University of Wyoming School of Nursing. She went on to serve as the director of the Best Beginnings program at the Laramie County Health Department. In her last career transition, she spent many years in the Laramie County school system at Carey Junior High and then served as head nurse for the district. Chris contributed many extra hours, even after retiring, to improve health care policies and procedures at schools across the state, including working with state legislators. She was active past retirement in the National Association of State Nurses Association and served on various boards at the state and national levels. Chris was widely admired for her attention to detail, passion, and her selfless dedication to providing exceptional service.

Her two greatest passions were her grandchildren and wildlife, particularly in Yellowstone, which was a favorite place to visit. She also gave her time as a 4H horse advisor over many years.
She is survived by her husband, Terry, and son, Erik (Amanda) Bartholomew and 2 grandchildren, Evan and William; brothers Joseph (Linda) Ermer and James (Christine) Ermer; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents. A celebration of life will be held later. If interested, please send donations to www.yellowstone.org or an organization associated with the park or wildlife conservation.

She was committed to giving everything her best and will be dearly missed.
