Marie E. Cometto

Marie E. Cometto, 79, of Cheyenne, died on Friday, November 1, 2019, in Cheyenne.

She was born June 8, 1940 in Cheyenne to Felix and Margaret Wilkinson.

Marie was a graduate of St. Mary’s High School, class of 1958. She worked at Pioneer Printing for several years after high school. One evening she was invited on a dinner blind date with friends where she met John Cometto and a romance blossomed! John and Marie were married on August 31, 1963. She became a stay-at-home Mom and raised three(3) boys. Marie was an avid reader and you could always find her with a book in her hands when she was not taking care of her family.

Marie and John moved around the state of Wyoming after John’s graduation from the University of Wyoming, including Worland, Lander, Kemmerer and Pinedale. They moved back to Cheyenne around 1990 to take care of their ailing parents.

Marie took up the game of golf to spend time with John and soon was on the course with others from the Airport Golf Course, even without John. On May 15, 2005, Marie made a hole-in-one while playing a course in New Mexico-a great achievement for any golfer.

Marie is survived by two(2) sons Michael(Theresa) of Casper, WY and Chris(Tracy) of Cheyenne, WY; three grandchildren Kristi Wood(Matt) of Bar Nunn, Ashley Cometto(Lance Faulkner) of Laramie and Sean Cometto of Bismarck, ND and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by one brother, Ray Wilkinson(Francie)of Tacoma, WA and numerous nieces and a nephew.

She is preceded in death by her husband, John, a son, Dan Cometto, her parents, Felix and Margaret Wilkinson and one brother, Ed Wilkinson.

Graveside services will be held Saturday, November 9, 2019 at 10:30am at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Cheyenne. A reception will follow at the Gathering Place from 11am to 1pm.

In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Davis Hospice Center, 6000 Sycamore Road, Cheyenne, WY 82009 would be greatly appreciated.
